Hi Luiz,

Welcome aboard!  Discussion about ZCO and Plone has been reduced to  
just Yves and I lately ... it will be great to have input from you.   
Your maps look great to me.

Have you tried ZCO yet?  If not, we should make a date for me to give  
you a tour.  Perhaps meeting on the #mapserver IRC channel would be a  
start.  The reason I ask this is because ZCO has also another UI: the  
Zope management interface.  The management interface could really  
benefit from better property management panels, color pickers, and the  
like.

cheers,
Sean
