Hmm, I think it uploaded correctly - I'll download it again and try it.

Ahh, that was a design decision!  I _HATE_ having to make things via the
Control Panel because you cannot tailor it.  For example, say you have:

	Zope
	  + Marketing
	  + Accounts

Zope contains company wide "widgets" while Marketing and Accounts each
contain "widgets" applicable to their areas.  In additional, people can
have permissions to use and add widgets.  A "widget" object is like a
zclass and it is instanced within a form via:
	<widget parameters></widget>

I've fixed it - it should work now!

10,000 ft overview? Think Visual Basic and Frontpage through the browser
using cross-browser javascript.  See my previous posts for more detail.
VisualStudio is just a dump of an actively developed product.

PS: I'm getting a few emails that people cannot see VisualStudio under the
"Products" page on zope.org.  Anyone else have this problem?
