[Snip]

May I suggest the following: [Snip] I think it will give new users a good starting point though!

1. A core introductry reading list

2. A series of problem-sets to be solved using Zope (okay I'm taking this from ACS a bit, but I think its not such a bad idea!)

3. A FAQ distilled from the ZDP, the lists, etc. etc.

4. ???? maybe other stuff?

The other stuff might be something like a weekly newsletter with a step-by-step guide on how to solve some common fundamental problem (like getting Zope to print dates in various formats, etc.). This would give the newbie something to chew on for a week. They could store it up on a web site for a reference list, and it wouldn't be considered spam. The nice thing about it is that once you have a cadre of articles, you just (re)circulate the same ones ala Parents magazine. Ron
