Zope is a platform upon which Site Developers create services to be
turned over to Site Designers and Business Users, and Component
Developers distribute new products and services for Zope users world
wide.

Well, you zope guys sure like to make enumerations of roles and (unconnected) pieces.
There is a pipeline of content (=text/grafik) from creation to the consumer, all right.
And there is a editing machinery where content gets processed,
the machinery for that being developed and managed.
- *Consumers* = content consumers = unauthorised end user = viewer = (newspaper) reader
- *Business Users* the content creator/maintainer = authorised editor
- *Site Developers* create the editing machinery
- *Site Designers* work hand in hand with Site Developers and make it pretty for editors and consumers.
- *Admins* keep the machine running
- *Information Architects* have the big money bags to boss around, but what is their connection to Zope and
the remaining staff?
- *Component Developers* do what? Isn't software just content=text=bits?
And what exactly is a service and a product?
These are far too foggy abstract marketing words for me.
