CMF Innovations

• How did the CMF advance the "state of the art" for Zope?

  • Pioneered use of interfaces for specification / documentation
  • Moved “presentation” logic out of content classes
    • No more if REQUEST is not None:
  • Made replaceable / configurable “services” a visible part of the application architecture
  • Brought workflow to the foreground of the application, changing content permission-role map over time.
