Looks great, well done all! Thanks for putting in the effort. My one 
(very minor) nit would be that we try to over-emphasize and over-clarify 
what "Zope" is (and is not), anywhere and everywhere possible.

And by that, I mean:

- "Zope" is: a brand, a term for any Zope-related technology, a general 
term. It no longer refers to anything specific. It is all-encompassing.

- "Zope 2" is the original web application server.

- "Bluebream" is the former-Zope 3 web application server.

- "ZTK" is a set of re-usable libraries.


And so on.
