Infrae and Nuxeo join forces and cooperate on Zope 3 technologies
The two companies have a proven track record in enterprise CMS software, and long experience with the Zope 3 platform. Infrae is the creator of the ‘Silva’ CMS, and Nuxeo of the ‘Collaborative Portal Server’ (CPS).
Through this cooperation, with our expertise in content management, internet communication, semantic web, user interfaces, content repositories, and XML technologies, we intend to advance the state of the art for our software and our customers, as well as the broader development community.
Next generation technology
The Zope 3 platform is an advanced new version of the powerful Zope application server, developed by Zope Corporation together with an international group of open source developers. Zope 3 is written in the acclaimed Python language, and enables programmers to rapidly develop robust applications.
Built around a component architecture, Zope 3 offers increased reusability and customizability, cuts production cost and time to delivery, and extends the Zope platform’s lead in component-based software development.
Continuing commitment to the Zope 2 platform
Infrae and Nuxeo remain committed to the Zope 2 platform. During the preceding months the companies have used Five to extend Silva and CPS with Zope 3 technology. Five is a component - developed by Infrae and now maintained by an open source community - to integrate Zope 3 technologies in Zope 2. Nuxeo has made significant contributions to Five, for instance exposing the full power of the Zope 3 schema/forms machinery. Five is now ready for production use.
Open source development model
Infrae and Nuxeo are committed to the development of free software. We intend to build the new components using an open source methodology. Other people and parties are welcome to collaborate.
We see the advent of Zope 3 technologies as a key opportunity to align and unify the Zope content management world, streamlining the exchange of software, knowledge, and experience within the community.
