Ok, thanks. I've read it, but will need to re-read it a couple of times 
more I guess :)

It seem to me the best next step would be to just pick a random 
grokcore.* package and to just try it. I'll pick, well, grokcore.component.

If I understand correctly, there's two things I need to ask "someone" to do:

* create a repository at https://github/zopefoundation/grokcore.component

* ask permission to use the authors.txt mapping svn usernames to real 
names and email addresses.

Again, thanks for the information.
