One of the problems with Zope is, that all the factsheets found on www.zope.com are targeted to technical people. Those management guys are used to read high-glossy papers like the one on http://www.obtree.com/c3_broch_e.pdf which is the way, a Zope decision-maker-targeted brochure should go too.
I realized, that I have no chance to impress those Microsoft- and Obtree-used managers, when I use the official Zope factsheets only. Of course, I can create my own. And I understand, that it is not the business of Zope.com to create papers, which others can use to sell their own services ...
I'd sort of disagree with that last sentiment, anything that advances the cause of Zope also helps the Corporation. And since ZC themselves need to produce management overview type docs for their own purpose, then letting the community have dibs on them would be no hardship for ZC. $0.02 <-- this is mine
