My attempt at straightening the story is here:

  http://zode01.lovelysystems.com/projects

If people disagree with that story, let's start a new thread and talk 
about it. Fast.

I'm not sure zc.buildout really is a "Zope project" at all. It's a Jim 
project, not a Zope project. However, it is largely maintained and used 
by the Zope community and we may have a decent place to put it and give 
it at least its own logo and some documentation space. If someone wants 
to build a separate website for zc.buildout, then that'd be great, but 
if the new zope.org lowers the impedance, I'd be happy to have a folder 
for it there. :)
