IIRC, Digital Creations are using PTK for some work they're doing for a
client. This has motivated the recent changes that Shane Hathaway
checked into the CVS.

It is usable, and it does mostly work. Just, there isn't much
documentation, and it probably isn't clear how to proceed with designing
a site that is too far different from the DemoPortal product supplied
with the PTK.

You haven't said what your Zope experience and Python expertise is yet.

In fact, it would be really helpful if you can answer the questions I
put to the last person to ask a similar question on this list:

You might find the discussion in this thread useful too:
