Charlie, See that's my biggest stumbling block. You really need to have a good object design and then create a ZClass if you're going to work with the ZODB. I'd love to see something simple, like a recipe card file created from scratch using ZClasses. Any "mature" Zope user willing to give it a try? I'm going to bring in my stand-alone Linux desktop unit so I can show off the word doc conversion product, so we'll have a server available.
