I'm also in love with this simple message. I would make it even more 
simple when communicating outside the zope developers community: Don't 
use "Zope 3" in any general description.

Most references from outsiders to Zope concepts I read the last month 
referred to "Zope", not Zope 3. When we start to promote the "Zope 
Toolkit" to the rest of the world, we don't need to make people think 
about what Zope 3 is/was, even if it's less accurate.

"Zope has become focused on supporting frameworks and applications, 
rather than trying to be one itself. These libraries are named the Zope 
Toolkit. Parts of it are used by the Zope 2 Application Server, Plone, 
Grok, Repoze.bfg, and by many other different applications and frameworks."
