My impression as a recent programmer with Zope is that it would be very important to work on improved documentation. Even with a lot of experience in programming using Zope is quite confusing as a result of the wealth of options for using it (DTML vs. ZPT, external code vs. ZClasses, ZODB vs. MySQL, etc.) and the lack of good comprehensive examples. Most vital information can be obtained via the mailing list. Sorry for the newbie questions, but I could not find answers to my questions elsewhere. Now, the question remains wrt. how to motivate the community to improve the situation. My experience is that this must be based on a good doc generation tool and documentation standards. There are PyDoc and the docstrings, so there should be used consistently and extensively, imho. comments are welcome Andre
