Creating an application using zope and plone
Hi all, I am very new to zope and plone. Now I have to make a blogging kind of site with user management based on roles. I want to have different classes for different type of users. Please tell me where to find good documentation to get started. And also some pointers to similar example solutions. Regards, Saura.

Well, I'd start by taking a look a the available "products" section on zope.org to see if there is something available that already does what you need. Roles are built in to Zope and there are probably a couple of blogging "products". As far as references, I'd start with the Zope Bible then the Zope Book.
From there, the Definitive Guide to Plone is really good (it helps to understand how Zope works first). It will also be helpful to know a bit of Python, Learning Python from O'Reilly is a good book to get you started.
If you haven't worked with paradigms like Zope or JSPs or ASP.Net, that's the hardest part of learning it. With Zope, everything gets pretty easy after that. -- Dave

CPS, which also runs on top of Zope, comes with a Blog product (at least version CPS-3.3.4-2 does). See: http://www.cps-project.org There is also a Blog-type product for Plone at the Plone collective: http://sourceforge.net/projects/collective (you will have to search down the page a ways.)
