Personally I never realized the elegance of Zope until I started working with forms and considering there was only one example of that feature. It took me a while to be singing its praises mostly because of the learning curve.
<Proposed EXAMPLES>
1. A mock site showing the functions and included comments 2. Language Guide with examples a. Syntax for DTML - General Examples b. ZOPE Methods and examples of each c. Variables and examples of each d. Zope Expressions and examples
Go through examples of the different tags
List _all_ the tags and methods, even if they're undocumented. <TAG LIST DELETED>
3. General Zope Guide to OO Design
3a. Factoring Content 3b. Factoring Functionality 3c. OO layout techniques 3d. Guidelines for when and how to use the various extension techniques: DTML Methods, External Methods, Products, Levers, Classes, etc. (plus examples, if possible)
4. Zope Access Control and Security 5. SQL and Database Publishing 1. SQL Language Guide - Examples in Zope 6. ZOPE ZEN 7. ZOPE SITE **** GOOD CALL***** </Proposed EXAMPLES>
