Nope, Itamar hasn't written a HowTO of this for zope.org. He posted it
directly to ZDP so that it could be placed on ZDP. He would do it himself,
but he didn't because he wasn't sure how to do it. That's why he posted it
on the ZDP-list. And since no one else put it on the ZDP, I wanted to do it
myself. I UNDERSTAND that not all documentation will be on ZDP, but if
people contribute and don't know how to put it on ZDP, is this then a
reason not to put it on the ZDP? Do you think they ever want to write some
documentation? And isn't this the first thing ZDP wants to do? Offer all
sorts of documentation and links to documentation? I'm sorry if I sound
annoyed here, it is really not the intention. I only don't want that
contributions to ZDP are wasted.

Tom.
