Zope for python.org?

Just a few quick questions...

Would it be desirable to turn python.org into a Python "portal
site" using the increasingly popular Zope product?

Would that show a strong "cross-commitment" between Python and
Zope and is it desired to show that?

Would that allow for a multi-language, multi-editor, better
integrated, easier to manage "grand" Python site, preventing
"spin-offs" like non-English copies?

Would that be a big problem for mirroring sites?

I'm very interested in looking at Zopifying python.org at some point,
probably after Zope 2.0 is released. If it helps better serve the
Python community by allowing a more direct distributed management of
the site, and coincidentally makes my job as webmaster easier, I'm all
for it.

Yes, we've had some discussions on it. Our goal here is to get Zope2
and the portal toolkit stuff running and useful on the new
soon-to-be-announced zope.org site. I think it shows promise, and will
provide a platform for collecting a lot of ideas about content, but
right now the glitches would drain way too much of Barry's time.

September is a good time to start thinking more seriously about it.
We'll probably discuss it at DCPIGgie.
