Hello Eron, The Zope Guides online are up to date with the current Zope version 2.1. http://www.zope.org/Documentation We are creating a process which will allow the Zope community to contribute to our core documents using several methods. We currently use Adobe Framemaker for official documents and that doesn't allow for community contributions. Amos, Rob and I are exploring XML DocBook for a standard platform for the guides. When the process is formalized, we will have more "open" documentation. The ZDP continue to provide steam with their efforts and make weekly announcements concerning their accomplishments. Please check them out http://zdp.zope.org:8080/ZDP maybe some of your questions can be answered there?

Hello zopers! What's going on with the Zope Guides? Does anyone have the "scoop"? I understand that some time ago there was a initiative within D.C. to work on the docs - what came of that? It seems the ZDP is steadily picking up speed, and even I'd like to contribute, but I feel I don't yet know nearly enough about Zope at all to make any contribution. [BIG SNIP]
