Maybe Michel could also comment on what he thinks how ZBook and his book
relate to each other. DC is a bit vague and inconsistent on that as far as
I'm concerned.
For the time being, let's stick with our plans, and try and get them out
quickly. Perhaps move the accent towards examples, and also present them in
downloadable format, so that people have a sort of 'Zope-recipes' at hand.
Perhaps we should make ZBook (also) an interactive Zope tutorial in Zope.

I propose to elaborate my contribution of last week (DTML and Zope contexts)
into
a chapter of some sorts that would be called 'changing Zope contexts' -
covering factoring out common elements, acquisition (and
its limitations) and the relationship between authorization and acquisition
(as far as I understand that myself). I feel (as Martijn also remarked) this
is
the part in Zope people have most difficulties with, and that an integrated
treatment of the subjects.
Dody and I agree that the overlap with other parts of the ZBook will do no
harm, as it treats the same subjects from different points of view.
