[ZWeb] Re: IA for zope.org

[Casey Duncan]

I like. I do see a definite distinction between Webmasters and Developers. My 
only concern with it is that it might cause initial confusion between what it 
and dev.zope.org is for. I'm not thinking of a better way to make this 
distinction other than stating the difference when someone clicks on 
Developers thinking they will find info on core dev there. Maybe "Zope 
Core Development" can be a link from there to dev.zope.org.

I think this is a very good start though, and here are some potential 
additions: 

Under webmasters, a "Zope managment" link to relevant resources for using the 
ZMI, WebDAV and FTP might be useful...

Under community I would add "Zope Sites" for community sites like 
ZopeZen/ZopeNewbies et al.

Also under community, there should be a "Contribute" link with content on 
projects, initiatives and ideas that need resources. Perhaps these can be 
trackers, or some sort of "workgroup" functionality (later perhaps).

Under Developers it would be nice to have an "Examples" category. Obviously 
we need content for this. I volunteer to make some.

P.S. Lets try to make the search functionality *useful* too 8*)
