[ZWeb] Zope.org feedback: Zope Documentation / Zope book online

[Chris McDonough]

Sure.  If you want to help, visit http://backtalk.sourceforge.net .
Any stylesheet or feature work you wish to do with it is possible
(one main stylesheet controls all output), and I'd accept any
contribution of time to perform the work.  I unfortunately cannot do
anything with it at the moment.

Thanks,

- C
