I have not been keeping up but do they let us have admin access to
install software.  To Install drupal software is pretty
straightforward.  We don't need to compile anything.  I am not sure
about zope,  but I am sure it can't be much different. Even on most
low cost hosting services.  Do they provide some sort of cpanel or
shell account access?

You are listed as the web site contact on the wiki.  I'm more than happy to defer to what you would like to do, particularly if you are offering to help with the upkeep of the site ;-)
