It's not hard to get started as long as you use Zope 3 in the form of 
Grok. :) Grok has done a lot of work on getting a project set up, 
Windows support, and the like, and what you get when you use grokproject 
is essentially a Zope 3 project (with the extra Grok packages).

grokproject has a lot of interesting features. It looks for the URL for 
the versions of the most recent release of Grok. It's now installing 
paster-based setup. It's also using things like z3c.recipe.eggbasket to 
pull in a whole bunch of eggs in a single tarball (from a single URL 
which means less potential for failure in theory). Etc.

It might be worthwhile to review that work and reuse bits of it.

Regards,

Martijn
