Yes; Zope's still rough around the edges, I'd say. Especially the
documentation edges.

I'll be glad to work with you, and I'm sure there are others!

I agree.

There should be - the idea was to concentrate on the FAQ stuff first,
but we can diverge into other things just fine. If you come up with an
idea of what you would like to see, and how it would fit into the
'documentation architecture' (now an Official ZDP Word, we only need to
figure out what it means :) as a whole, please mail to this list. No, we
don't have a plan beyond CoolFAQ, but we'd like you to contribute one!
:) Any texts that you like to write; please send them to the list and
I'll help edit them if you like.
