I say go for it and put zope on borg.

As for sites that are moving over to borg, here is what I will be moving 
over:

sydney.indymedia.org.au
coffscoastimc.org
arafura.indymedia.org.au
jura.org.au

all drupal sites.

I imagine melbourne indy would also want to move (i think it should, its 
a heavy hitter). Aketus probably wants to move a few of his sites over too??
