It would be great to make some updates to some of the text and top  
level pages on zope.org.

I would suggest something like this for the main content:

Welcome to the Zope Community site
--------------------------------------------------
Zope 2 is a complete application server. It includes an embedded  
object database, a declarative security model,  and a publisher that  
can serve content via HTTP, FTP and WebDAV. It has a mature and  
robust code base that has been in existence since 1999.

Zope 3 is a from the ground up rewrite, and focuses on using the Zope  
3 component architecture to allow developers to build truly  
extensible, highly testable web applications.

Zope is open source and is written in Python, the dynamic object- 
oriented programming language.


Zope For
------------

(I'm not sure what to do here, hopefullly get these links updated  
over time? or scratch this section? some of these links are really  
old. The target groups could be reworked if we want to keep this  
section, and it should be listed once for Zope 2 content and again  
for Zope 3 content)

What You can do on Zope.org
----------------------------------------

(I would delete this section. Having users be able to join a web site  
and contribute content was novel a few years ago, but is generally  
taken for granted today.)


Zope Training
------------------

(This should just link to the training page, the note about sending  
training announcements to webmaster at zope.org could be put on that  
page. BTW only the CIGNEX link works, all the training links that  
point to zope.com are 404)

Plone Training
--------------------

(The Plone web team is sufficiently mobilized to be able to list  
their own training announcements).

New Content:

We should list  some applications written in Zope, and some  
organizations using it. Plone, Silva, others?
