Zope Developer's Guide (2.4 edition)
It is obvious many people new to Zope are burning up a lot of time, 
because it is very difficult to get a web site started.  My reaction 
initially was to start a project that would teach people the, say, 50 
things required to get a web site going.
Ironically, I have not been able to break into the organization and get 
a conversation going.
WHO IS IN CHARGE?
This is zope.org, so where is the org?
