Hi !

> > If people have some remarks for better visibility, do not hesitate.

Make many Phases on this page:

http://zdp.zope.org:8080/ZDP/projects/zbook/ZCLProcess

Phase I:  A Web Application Platform
Phase II: Zen, Architecture and Power of Zope
Phase III: Application Development
Phase IV: Zope Security
Phase V: Cutting Edge

I really don't like this, but when you choose the Process ZClass
for the ZCL, this is the intended usage of Process.

Without creating your own ZClasses, you can do the following::

Put many DraftSubmission Folders inside ZBook:

Part I:  A Web Application Platform
Part II: Zen, Architecture and Power of Zope
Part III: Application Development
Part IV: Zope Security
Part V: Cutting Edge

Inside these DraftSubmissionFolders, create many
DraftSubmissionFolders Chapter.

Inside these DraftSubmissionFolders, create many
DraftSubmissionFolders SubChapter.

I don't like this either, but anyway this is
the practical thing to do.

If you want more, then create the ZClasses:

Part
Chapter
SubChapter

This is really easy, because you just have to make them
as subclasses of DocumentFolder and DocumentFolder
already does everything for you.

You could make Subchapter a Subclass from DraftSubmissionFolder,
and again, you would not have to program anything !

I like this very much.

We decided against this, because we want to enforce a structure on
the ZDP site.

Yes. Just make a ZClass ZBook, and add a List_Chapters method.

I obviously agree with Tom here.

Yes, but we still have to make ZClasses register with the Catalog.
