That's an idea that certainly deserves some exploration! The Zope 
Foundation awaits the Plone Foundation's proposals for something like 
this with great anticipation! Note that I explicitly put the ball to 
initiate these discussions in their court, as it appears that the Plone 
project feels a particular urgency here, Alexander Limi having kicked 
off this discussion. This could finally start some cooperation between 
the two foundations, something I've been hoping would happen for a long 
time now. Now we have something concrete.

Note that the Zope Foundation indirectly has supported topic a bit, 
thanks to the summer of code. Nikhil, the summer of code student, worked 
on supporting the Zope (3) libraries on Python 2.5 already. Nikhil 
apparently already wants to work on this project.

Regards,
