I also just committed my little sandbox setup that can be used to take
a quick look at Zope3. I personally use it for playing with some eggs
and for showing "zope3 the application server" to other people. It's
based only on zc.buildout, zc.zope3recipes, and pure zcml setup. It
doesn't use paste or any z3c package - just plain old zope3 on twisted
with rotterdam and so on. It also contains an example of code that
creates a new content type (with doctests).

If we want people to start learning Zope3 through ZMI, may be
something like that could be developed and used as a demo instead of
z3c.formdemo :) I quite like it because it contains very few files and
is rather easy to understand by newbie. Next, we may want to point
people to packages like z3c.pagelet and z3c.form, so some tutorial
should be written on how to add support for that to their current
setup (z3c.rotterdam could be used as an easy way).

Here it is: http://svn.zope.org/Sandbox/nadako/zopesandbox/
