Beside the tips from other messages there is also the "Zope Developper Guide" ("ZDG"). It describes the product development aspects as for Zope 2.4. But few things changed until Zope 2.8. From Zope 2.8 on, and especially with Zope 2.9 and Zope 2.10, you have also the possibility to use Zope 3 views via "Five". You can use them for the management of your instances in place of the formerly directly embedded templates and actions. But everything described in the "ZDG" still works. -- Dieter
