I should be paying you lot consultancy...
The history. We use an external web developer for our department's site and for a new venture here at work. He likes to use PHP and MySQL. He finds the universit'ies policies restrictive. The uni wishes us to use open source Zope and I think linking into an Oracle database. Also they wish us to use a content management system which should make it easy for a secretary say to update content but which he feels is restrictive.
I have little knowledge in depth of any of this and so as project manager (who we all know have zero knowledge!!) and in the middle of a war between the two.
Any opinions on Zope? Is he correct that Zope with a browser interface CMS is restrictive? Is PHP and MySQL better than Zope using Pyhton etc.
Have the uni screwed up here?
