On the other hand... if we just want to try our hands at making a few 
specific applications, like a class weblog with the necessarily complex 
set of roles and permissions, it might be smarter to start out with just 
plain-jane Zope products that would be quicker to develop and easier to 
deploy on a small scale for specific uses. 

Just a thought.
