Actually, you and Sidnei both have a better proposal than me.  This is 
CMF, so it means skins, meaning it doesn't have to be one or the other.

Still, it would indeed be interesting to find out what the customer 
(the community) thinks.  We're having this discussion here on zope-web. 
  Perhaps it could be expanded to ZopeZen, where we could do a poll?

Well, your version of it at least. :^)

I think the biggest question is: can we get volunteers not named Sidnei 
to test the theory and give the community something to evaluate?  
Dunno...

I don't think it's self-serving at all.  Zope needs all the support it 
can get.  Besides, I think your site is cool. :^)

Maybe there should be a "zope.net" idea, where we could tap into the 
community as a large, loosely-coupled content management system.  
Others are doing it, obviously Zope is capable.  Certainly not 
something to discuss actively in the next three months though, until 
after nzo launches.
