No problem. I can also host (temp/permanent/sandbox) if Zope support is an
issue @ ibiblio, or if they need more proof of concept time for Zope
production implementation. The user base can be encapsulated to the vhost
instance of zope, with parent administration. Also, management users can
be given a space to install custom Zope products as well. It depends on
the complexity of the ibiblio sight, server resources, acceptable use
policies,  and contracted service level agreements. It also depends on the
complexity of ibiblio's server architecture in how they want to implement
Zope.
