[Zope-CMF] need to create new content type based on python

[Carl Rendell]

For my first product I looked at NewsItem from CMFDefault which 
subclasses Document. That gives you the basics for subclassing, and 
in your case you can simply extend the base product with properties.

You'll need to set up skins and initialize the product. I've 
pointed people at the CMFEmployment for modeling those steps of 
making things work with CMF.
