this is something geoff was going to look at.  portal_form/navigation
probably
shouldnt go directly into CMFDefault/CMFCore it should be something
seperate.  But portal_properties should maybe be changed.

having the id hardcoded is naughty.  what if you want it to be
/customers instead of /Members or you just dont want uppercase?
it should be simple to change.

this is not a part of Plone.  it generates Plone forms currently.
this is simple to change.  its a CMF project and its in
http://sf.net/projects/collective  - I am working on documentation.
Just like CMFBackTalk (yay! Kapil!) and works but
its UI is done in Plone.  If you want a CMF UI - rewrite the
PageTemplate and submit it back.

read the source its very simple.  have you installed plone?
its the box that gives you options on whether or not you
want a Default,Private site.  If you have ZopeZen skin installed
that will be an option as well.
