I'm fine if some people want to get together and organize "Zope 3" to 
offer an integrated experience. Zope 3 is the thing people install and 
start projects with. It's what should have a website explaining what it 
is all about.

It's not what the Zope Framework Steering Group cares for however. It 
doesn't directly care for Zope 3. Zope 3 is explictly *not* the Zope 
Framework project, just like Grok isn't the Zope Framework project. Both
have a stake in the project and will participate in the project, but 
just like the Zope Framework Steering Group doesn't manage 
grok.zope.org, it won't manage zope3.zope.org (if such a thing exists) 
either.

While I'm quite interested in volunteering to help coordinate Zope 
Framework development, I'm not at all interested in volunteering to help 
coordinate Zope 3 app server development.
