Probably not.  On the other hand, talking about the mechanics of how that might 
get done on this maillist seems pretty natural to me.  The "whole Zope 3

Why wouldn't that be worked out here?  Is it because you just want the 
mechanics of such a project done elsewhere without having to see it talked 
about on this maillist?  Or is it because you disagree that it should be done? 
  Or... what?
