[ZDP] A Parallel Intro to Zope/Python/OO for Developers

[Loren Stafford]

Maik,

I'm afraid there were some clouds between me and your brainstorm, so I
didn't quite follow. Could you give some examples?

But I think I agree, in that struggling developers can at least define the
problems they run into. Their problem definitions can at least be converted
into a "needs author" in the ZDP. If the developer thinks he has the answer,
then he can be the author, and the tentative document section changes status
to "needs reviewer". If a qualified reviewer can be found, then there is
some assurance that the documentation will be solid.

What I'm not sure about is how this kind of process can result in a document
organized enough to serve as a tutorial (or perhaps curriculum) for newbie
developers.
