Hi Sean,

Thanx for the clarifications.  If I get my current organization more
into Python land, then I may become more of an actor than a spectator.
It seems to me the future of the Zope/Plone stack is brighter with
things like WSGI and there is IMO a lot of potential in having a truly
"geoaware" CMS.  

The last bit of geospatial stuff I did with Plone involved the Maps
(Jarn) product.  I used ArcheCSV to import a number of borehole points
that became location objects in Plone (IIRC) so the low hanging fruit
there was that I could use GM to map my points.  I'm sure PrimaGIS
and/or epwithgis could serve equally well on that front while allowing
one to build one's own map.  I like this for a philosophy :
