And that's a surefire way to &$%^ it up and achieve nothing :(

I'm inclined to agree, why have a ZD portal when you could just have a
Zope portal...

I don't agree, I think they have as little clue as anyone else about
where everything is documented ;-)

Maybe it should be? How about rebuilding zope.org as a generic 'Zope
Portal' with the building and documenting work being done more by the
community? (ie: integrating ZDP and Zope.org)

I assumed he was talking about the ZDP interface.. the front page is
nice but the rest is still all over the place :(

The New Users & Developers title looks out of place... I think it wants
it's own bit as suggested on the ZDP Wiki...
