[ZDP] OpenContent issues

[Ken Manheimer]

Seems like there are two separate issues bumping (gently) against
eachother in this thread - generation of zope documentation and the
prospects of producing a zope book.  I agree with martijn f that it's
best, for the sake of generating some substantial documentation at all,
to not set our sites on a book, and i agree with david a that a book is
a real good idea to plant before this self selected audience.  Though
i'd  say, according to my instincts, it probably should be only an
incidental one for the zdp, as a group, at least for now.  

I also want to say that i really like the way martijn f framed the open
docs principles:

moment.

While i might be concurring out of selfish self-interest, as a digicool
employee, really it is out of understanding that this open-artifact
policy (whether the artifact is source code or documentation) can
constitute a win-win situation for us all.  Sort of the antidote to the
prisoners dilemma, redeemed by communication.  Or something:-)
