I think the Zope 3 API docs are much nicer than the Twisted ones above. I have 
put a lot of time into Zope 3's version, so that it is as usable as possible. 
You should check it out. Start Zope 3  and go to:

http://localhost:8080/++apidoc++

As said before, I am fairly convinced that most of the code could be reused 
for the Zope 2 version. This will be especially interesting when Zope 3 will 
be available in Zope 2.8 or 2.9.

Stephan
