After a week's worth of evenings spent pecking away at the keyboard, I have posted an article on acquisition to the zopeNewbie site (http://weblogs.userland.com/zopeNewbies/). You can find the article, "Transition to Acquisition" at: http://weblogs.userland.com/zopeNewbies/breadcrumbs/acquisition/ I am interested in finding out whether this article helps those new to Zope better understand the concept of acquisition. I also want to know if my descriptions and explanations are technically correct. (After all, I am a zopeNewbie myself!) If you don't have the patience to slog through the whole thing, the stuff related directly to acquisition is at: http://weblogs.userland.com/zopeNewbies/breadcrumbs/acquisition/Behavior Thanks!
