Correct

Correct. So I only have to write a draft on how to add questions to a topic.

OK.

Ok. So, ZDP will allow to add questions and drafts by visitors. Where can
they add these question and drafts as visitor? In which folder, ...? As
soon as I have this information, I'll write a guideline on this.

Can I assume this?:  A visitor searches for a spesific topic through the
Portal. It doesn't find the information he needs. There is a link to a form
which allows him to put a question on this. The question is added into a
certain folder specific for asked questions. Now contributers, visitors can
look at the question and write a draft? (a look at www.experts-exchange.com
would give great information for implementation into Zope, yes, I know,
sorry that I again refer to this link. But it is the ideal site and tool to
do such things. Please, have a look, all of you)

A visitor wants to add a draft. What does he has to do now? Where can he go
to to add the draft?

Tom.
