Zope question: collaborative environments?

[entropia]

If you want a collaborative enviroment with Zope look at Xen, a Zope product.
The big problem is that Xen don't work properly, and you need more that two
week's to fix it. I think that's more easy to make a script that locks the
files when anyone needs to work with them and send them to your directory.
When you finish the scripts copy the files from your directory to the common
directory of work. This is the basic idea but it can be improved easely.
