Me too, and I am grateful to Zope Corp. for that.

It makes sense to have also _users_ (people who use Zope but who doesn't

contribute any code to the code base): we need help from the users to meet
their needs.  

In my opinion Zope Corp. is company in which many people are very clever.

One of the reason that Zope Foundation exists is to support Zope vendors
and other communities who use Zope as a technological basis (such as 
Plone, Nuxeo etc.)

It's also important to define how existing foundations (such as Plone Foundation,
for instance), may cooperate with Zope Foundation.
