For this, you need a tool. And I think they are less effective (but
easier to do)

I'd like to think so. ZBook can have tremendous impact on everybody
trying to learn Zope. If we do it right.

About the content, I would become part of Zbook. ZCL is just a framework
for people to contribute bits and pieces
to Zbook.

In simplicity yes. Unless we have people to work on a tool. But let's
put the content at the top priority.

That's need to be figured out. Every new article should correlate to
each others. That's the function of ZCL. To make
articles has more impact because of the topic cohesion (and connection).
Individual how-tos aren't a good way to learn.

The end product is Zbook (dummies->intermediate). ZCL is how to do it.
