There is a new document on the Wiki which explains in excruciating detail
how triggers/rules work in ZPatterns:


http://www.zope.org/Members/pje/Wikis/ZPatterns/HowTriggersWork

I have also now completed the SkinScript reference documentation at:


http://www.zope.org/Members/pje/Wikis/ZPatterns/SkinScriptSyntax

In addition to a detailed definition of all SkinScript statements,
variables, and syntax, the reference includes 19 short "real world"
SkinScript examples ranging from very simple to very complex.  Examples
include data movement to/from SQL and ZCatalog, as well as other
Specialists, and various kinds of "alert"-type triggers.

Please note that the SkinScript syntax described is "slightly ahead of its
time" in documenting a few features that are only available in an as-yet
unreleased ZPatterns.  I'm holding up the release of 0.4.3 for additional
documentation and I'm also waiting on Ty to get a LoginManager 0.8.8
release together, as there were some changes that had to be made to LM for
compatibility with ZPatterns 0.4.3, relating to my recent addition of
ZClass support for PlugIns (yay!).

Feedback on the above documentation is welcome.  Thanks.
