Digital Creations Inc, the company behind the open-source web application server Zope, has announced plans to use browser technology from the Mozilla project. Zope handles content management systems, portals and custom solutions. Being competitive in the content management and portal management markets requires an upgrade to Zope’s classic web front end, explained CEO Paul Everitt. With Mozilla we get an advanced environment for web applications that enhances the Zope vision of a pure internet architecture. It’s a natural fit for these two open source leaders to work together. The stated goal of the Zope/Mozilla initiative is to deliver a new management environment for Zope that retains its end-to-end open source character. Digital Creations plans to lead several Zope community projects. The company promises to unveil a roadmap, initial architecture documents and a prototype at the Zope track of the Eighth International Python Conference in January 2000.
