Brian Brown, our benevolent hoster of zdp.zope.org, recently contacted me 
and said he would upgrade. I forwarded his message to this list a few days ago.

I think we will first have to wait for Tom Deprez to return from vacation 
(I assume he is, because he also doesn't respond to direct mail right now). 
He wrote the ZBook, not as a framework, but as a way to learn Zope himself. 
It would only be fair to ask his opinion on the subject.
