Would we want people outside the community to do this?

Would it ever be an audience bigger than 5-10 developers somewhere who 
would even have different goals than the Zope community.

It is difficult enough right now to herd this flock of cats called Zope 
developers. Why would we want to make it even more difficult by adding 
other communities?

Personally I could not care less if Page Templates are used in 
TurboGears and other frameworks.

Splitting up software into chunks with few dependencies should be done 
because it is good software practice. Not to favour other communities.

We should rather make a cool stack that will include people in Zope. 
Please remember It is *still* the sexiest technology out there!
