Hi,

=20

I'm trying to decide which version of Zope would work best for a project
on which I've been assigned to work.  I've personally had no contact
with Zope before yesterday when I downloaded 2.7.1 and 3.0.0b1 to start
playing around a bit.

=20

The project involves a web page where users can upload files of a
specific format (zipped SCORM-conformant e-learning files to be exact).
The system would then rip out all of the meta data and perhaps the full
text of the files in the zip and index them for searching.  The MD is in
XML, but we'd also perhaps like to support RDF and some others like RSS.
Each file in the system would then be linked to the MD by some sort of
GUID-equivalent.  Then the users could search the MD and text and the
system would return a results list, and afterward repackage their
content.

=20

Now, I've been asked to decide which version of Zope would work better
for this.  I would think that native XML support (which I read will be
better in 3 but don't understand how yet) would be a huge plus.  Also,
the new ObjectHub replacement for the ZCatalog might really help me.
Zope's native authentication services have also been given a huge
overhaul and we'd like to leverage those as well.

=20

I was hoping that someone out there with better in-depth knowledge of
Zope would be able to read this list of reqs and be able to tell me in
(semi-)detailed fashion just why 3 or 2.x would be a better decision.

Thanks all for your help,
