The simple template looks very nice.  I will go ahead and merge your branch
to trunk now.  To release this package, we need to document it.
Either we can do it here:
http://wiki.zope.org/bluebream/AlternateProjectTemplates
or in svn: svn+ssh://baijum@svn.zope.org/repos/main/bluebream/website

If the documentation is not completed, whenever I am releasing
the "bluebream" package, I will comment the "bluebream_simple" entry point.
User friendly documentation is *mandatory* to include any package
to BlueBream.

I think we can create a "bluebream_quickstart" in the same package
which includes
more functionalities by default.  But it should only contain packages
supported by
BlueBream. http://download.zope.org/bluebream/bluebream-1.0a1.cfg

So, there will be three templates:

bluebream (bluebream_base)
bluebream_simple
bluebream_quickstart

In fact, I am really tempted to include many community packages.
I already did one package: z3c.testsetup.  Now I have
decided that without documenting the existing packages, we will
not include any more packages to core.  All other packages
will remain as community supported package for 1.0 release.

March 6th is the date for 1.0a2 release.  I will include the
"bluebream_simple" template provided there is enough documentation.
http://wiki.zope.org/bluebream/OnePointZero

After 1.0a2 release I will make a maintenance branch for 1.0 release.
So, the development can be started for 1.1 release.
