[ZDP] Re: Publishing Zope Book

[Tom Deprez]

Hi,

So, what does OpenDocs proposes?  Do you have already the contents of the
book in your minds? What do you expect from ZBook?
And what do other people on the list think about it? I know, we've had this
discussion already some time ago, but another discussion can do no harm.

Tom.
