What is the CMF?

The Zope Content Management Framework provides a set of services and content objects useful for building highly dynamic, content-oriented portal sites. The CMF provides the foundation for popular software packages such as Plone. It is intended to be easily customizable, in terms of both the types of content used and the policies and services it provides.
