thanks but I already run 6 zope installations, just not for adult web sites (one of them used to be listed as a Zope.org case study but alas, no more). I've found it perfect for corporate intranets and web sites that need to be updated by non-techies (job boards, press releases, etc).

Vancouver? What the heck, I'm in a good mood: If you were looking for something to do you should check out the latest cvs for Zope and customize it for adult members areas.... design an ImgGallery product, a LeasedContent product and a tidy looking administration area for webmasters to update content and formatting. Insulate the webmasters from the zope management interface.

The end result would be very scalable if you set it up to run behind squid and incredibly versatile. You'd have the advantage of the open source community debugging and enhancing the core zope code and also creating new products which you could plug into existing installations.

It would instantly support all of the platforms zope does. Zope even runs on windows (one of my installations is 2 windows 2000 zope boxes behind some load balancing; works like a charm).

It would probably only take a couple of weeks if you knew what you were doing. You could either sell it as a product with a support contract or team up with a hosting company to set up a cluster and sell hosting with a built-in members area manager.

cheers, we all expect an announcement from you sometime next month ;-)
