4. ???? maybe other stuff?
Said it before, but this is the place to insert again: A Rosetta page, for ASP, PHP, Perl, etc, to Python. This is how you do this in ASP and/or PHP and/or Perl... and this is how it you do that in Python. Not a snip library for the lazy, but an essential Rosetta Stone, to help the new user to get to the "I Get IT" level more stage more quickly. I was able to "get" enough of what Zope does and how to make it work soon enough to continue using it love it. But I still cannot bangout working dtml code the way I can asp pages. I would really love this Rosetta page. I would contribute to it too.

[Snip]
May I suggest the following: [Snip] I think it will give new users a good starting point though!
1. A core introductry reading list
2. A series of problem-sets to be solved using Zope (okay I'm taking this from ACS a bit, but I think its not such a bad idea!)
3. A FAQ distilled from the ZDP, the lists, etc. etc.
4. ???? maybe other stuff?
The other stuff might be something like a weekly newsletter with a step-by-step guide on how to solve some common fundamental problem (like getting Zope to print dates in various formats, etc.).
This would give the newbie something to chew on for a week. They could store it up on a web site for a reference list, and it wouldn't be considered spam.
The nice thing about it is that once you have a cadre of articles, you just (re)circulate the same ones ala Parents magazine.
