Thanks from me, too!

What could be added to the diagrams is the following: 

- A horizontal segmentation via a line, where above on the right we read "Web 
Frameworks" and below the line "Core Libraries" (or similar). In the 2008 
diagram, this line would go right through Zope 3, as this covered both, 
whereas in the current diagram, the line would be above ZTK. The Grok/Zope2 
arrows would then reach below this line to indicate that these projects rely 
on the core-library part of Zope 3.
- Some legend like "Zope ecosystem in 2008/2010".

I personally would very much like to see this graph, perhaps extended with an 
application layer with Plone (and maybe other products, e.g. Silva) on the 
zope.org page on a prominent place. The boxes in the graph could be links, so 
that people can directly navigate to the desired location.

This would clear up things a lot, I think, especially for newcomers.

Best Regards,
Hermann
