That's a good question. It's probably a grey area.

I think a project that:

* associates itself with our community (or most developers are
community members, etc)

* maintains its software in svn.zope.org

* is used widely by members of the community, and by other projects in
our community

probably a "Zope community project". Buildout qualifies here. The
question is what the word 'community' means of course but this is good
enough for me. Of course there are other Zope community projects that
are *not* maintained in svn.zope.org. The question then would be
whether this still can be supported by the Zope Foundation.

Anyway, I'm not sure how produce it is to go into discussions like
this either. I'd rather not distract people from actually producing
useful websites. :)

Regards,

Martijn
