[thelist] zope cms implementations?

[Sam-I-Am]

anyone got any experience here? I'm exploring zope and what it can bring
to the table for CMS development. 
I'm actually struggling to find an intelligible, built out demo that
will show me what it would mean for me - the guy doing the markup,
templates and the initial build-out.

So far I have zope and CMF installed. That's all working. 
Then I came across the CMFDemo product, but can't seem to install it
properly. I have BTreeFolder installed.. but it's still broken.

Any pointers would be great,

Sam
