[Zope-dev] Speed up the learning curve

A suggestion to cut the Zope learning curve down by half a day...

When the programmer forgets the docstring in a method of a Python-based
product, instead of saying

	"Sorry, the requested resource does not exist."

Zope could say:

      "Sorry, this method has no docstring."

Yes, I know this behaviour is well-documented. But the message gives no c=
lue
to lead the unwary newbie from the error to the documentation.

There are so many useful things I could have done in this half day :-/
