This week I tried KARLProject. It is a open source web system for collaboration, organizational intranets, and knowledge management. It uses repoze.bfg. It is very simple to use. Advanatages are it uses zope 3 libraries and putting it together is very easy.
What I liked about KARL is how easy it was to install and how fast the server can be run. it hardly takes few seconds. Additionally it uses blob to store files which makes the Data.fs lighter. It indexes these files so easy to search. For mailing, it has a separate library and thus leaves us on how to send mails or how frequently ( I have set up a cron job to sending emails every 10 minutes :)).
On a whole it is a very nice system. But (Yes, there is a but ;)) can it replace Plone which still uses older zope? No, I don't think so. What I miss in repoze is ZMI. Plone offers me a quick way to fix things and move it to file system.
