Interesting. What would this environment look like? WebDAV? XML-RPC handlers? Integration between Frontier and Zope servers? Some sort of portable plug-in API so Frontier can hook up to Apache? Something shipped out-of-the-box by RedHat, the way they do mod_perl and mod_php3?

Here's a good place to begin.. AutoWeb. However, on review, it's not such a good place to begin. AutoWeb was more about site management. It didn't have the glossary. I think that came in in the Clay Basket timeframe.

Anyway..

The first goal would be to get macros and the glossary to working in some Linux-based environment. Store the glossary in MySQL or whatever makes sense. Store the hierarchy of pages. You can simulate an object db in a relational database. Think about it.

It would be fun to build the structure in Frontier to make deployment transparent for Frontier people.

Zope

Is a good choice for an environment to target.

Others? I'm a newbie. Show me the way.
