Via SiT, Zope plans to create a content management system designed specifically for education. In partner ship with Duke University, the system will support LDAP and integrate with other educational systems. Says Rob Page, CEO of Zope:
We are currently working with the central IT office and several major units at Duke to create a content-management system to meet the needs of a decentralized academic environment where schools and departments have more autonomy than you typically find in a big corporation.
This sounds like a very interesting project. I will have to look into this again in the new year, when the system will be ready.
