I think many people on this list don't agree with me, but I'll give you
such an advise, according to my experience:

Give up. 

I have been an experienced programmer for 10+ years. And 5 months has 
passed since I start to learn Zope, I haven't start a single line of
code to migrate my project from PHP to Zope, besides doing some small
projects for testing.

Not because I don't know how to start, it is because Zope isn't such
a tool that you can expect to KNOW about it in a very short time.
To me, it is a complete different concept.

I think I can understand your situation when you even post the message
to the zope-dev list. So my advice is, if there is any alternative 
choices, finish the project asap and sit down to learn Zope without any 
pressure.
