You're correct. A tutorial for how to make a useful site with Zope would be
nice. If I just had the time... :-)

DTML, yes. ZClasses or python is not needed, but if you don't learn DTML you
will not have any use of Zope at all.
Sure, you CAN use Zope as if it was a directory of files, but thats
overkill... :-)

(Now this does not anylinger have anything to do with Zope-web, so if
somebody feels that this needs more discussion, we should move it somewhere
else.)
