[Zope-CMF] A couple basic newbie questions ...

[Steve Spicklemire]

Hi Lynn,

	I think there are a couple different kinds of file-system based 
products like this. If you're looking at CMFBoringContent I think you're 
seeing "Filesystem XXXX" objects, which are just like "XXX" objects, but 
they are not editable TTW. The main advantage of that is that when folks 
customized them, they need to make a copy (e.g., in the "custom" skins 
folder) so that when an upgrade
comes along, changing the Filesystem based objects,  it doesn't muck 
with their ZODB based customizations..
