Agreed, we shouldn't hide ourselves. I think *.python.org is a step
too far. What I do think is that it's good to let projects that *do*
stand on their own stand alone in their presentation as well. That's
not about hiding ourselves, it's about giving the right impression to
people.

I think we can do this with buildout.zope.org, but if people can find
a good top-level domain name then I'd certainly not want to stop them,
as long as the affiliation with the Zope project is clear. This is
mostly Jim's creation, after all, though I think the community-created
recipes are something we should definitely showcase. We have a *lot*
of features available through those recipes.

Regards,
