You should be able to see the page if you log-in? It's not published  
because I wanted to get the terminology straight first.

I may also re-work the text a bit. At first I was just going to do a  
very short "How-to develop from a trunk/branch" thing and I marked the  
Audience field as "Advanced Developer" but then I ended up writting a  
bit more about eggs and buildout in general, since I think we could  
use a better explanation of *why* eggs and buildout were developed  
(and why they are so cool). Otherwise when comparing Zope 3/Grok with  
other frameworks at first glance it seems like there is just a whole  
bunch of extra complexity and you don't really understand the benefits  
until you've spend a fair bit of time learning and working with the  
tool.

I did get Viewlets working in my Grok project, good stuff :)
