Amos is the latest generation Python-bot (for other Python-bots, see python-list@python.org or comp.lang.python, eg. /F-bot and Tim-bot). He's fully implemented using a new XML version of DTML and Jim Fulton's highly experimental ZODB-4 which has the facility to use fuzzy logic in object lookups. This means that sometimes Amos-bot can send messages to this mailing list which seem completely non-sensical. He covers this fuzziness by referring to a thing he calls 'Zope Zen', implying only those who have 'Zope Zen' (perhaps this is the DC-internal code name for ZODB-4?) can understand him.
Hope this clears things up.
