I have "Archetypes" (1.3.0a2) running with Zope 2.7, CMF 1.4.2.
However, we do not yet use lots of "Archetypes" widgets.
What has been necessary for me:

  *  adding a "site_properties" properties object
     with definitions for "default_charset" (to
     make "PortalTransforms" happy) and
     "allowRolesToAddKeywords" to make the keyword widget happy.

  *  copying the "calendar_slot" from Plone to make the
     "Calendar" widget happy. It no longer raises exceptions
     but it does not yet work as it requires a Javascript
     function defined in Plone.

     We will provide our own "calendar_slot" and "DateTimeField"
     to get rid of this Plone dependance.


I have had lots of problems when Archetype based fields met
DublinCore fields. I had to extend Archetypes to allow
AT to override inadequately inherited methods.

I had problems when I installed Archetypes defined types via
the "TypesTool". They are apparently expected to
be installed via the "ArchetypeTool". I did not
recognize this feature of "ArchetypeTool" due to an unfortunate
UI design (active links for "install/uninstall" not to distinquish
from inactive text).
