You're right, Zope is relatively specific in it's intended purpose,
but it seems to fulfill a pretty broad set of web-centric
applications. While it doesn't meet the Big Book of Universal
Requirements, it's got some pretty cool and well-implemented ideas.
From what I saw at Python9, the next Zope architecture should be
way better.
For something less monolithic, and more to Deirdre's liking :) you
could check out webware:
http://webware.sourceforge.net/
I had bookmarked it way back when, and then promptly forgot about
it (doh!) but when I saw Chuck Esterbrook's talk at the conference,
I was extremely impressed by the clean modular design. Very cool :)
