If we want people outside of the zope community to use these components, 
they should not have the word "zope" anywhere in their name.  If it says 
"zope" people will *always* assume it is for use only with/inside Zope 
(Zope 2 more often than not).

I've seen this when I've told people about testing their web apps with 
zope.testbrowser.  Their first response is invariably "oh, I can't use 
that; I'm not using Zope."

Therefore, whatever the bag-o-components is named it should not contain 
"zope".  "Z" or "zed" would be OK with me (especially if we could come 
up with some decent domain names that are still available).
