This question really belongs at on the zope@zope.org mailing list, as it
is to do with using Zope in a standard way, rather than developing Zope.


Sounds to me like you're not really sure where to start. Try going
through the Job board tutorial, as it will give you an idea of how
things work together.

If you want something that is easier to follow, with screenshots and
fuller explanations, and you don't mind paying for it, you might want to
look at Beehive's ZClass Tutorial.

Also, take a look at the Zope documentation project.

Furthermore, there's a tutorial that comes packaged with the latest 2.2
beta versions of Zope. You might like to try that, too.
