Hi there,

This is what I wrote so far concerning the Zope Foundation. I welcome 
any input or extensions so we can improve this text.

Any text you can contribute?

Any sections you would look for and are missing?

Send your responses to the list for now. Soon this will expand beyond my 
mailbox and I'll likely start something in svn.zope.org to maintain the 
text (we can always put it into a CMS later).

Regards,

Martijn

About the Zope Foundation
=========================

Introduction
------------

The Zope Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation that provides
support for the Zope community and the Zope platform and its
associated software. Our community includes the open source community
of contributers as well as the community of businesses and
organizations that use Zope.

The aim of the Zope Foundation is to assist these communities in
moving the Zope platform forward. It does this in several ways:

* *The future of Zope is ensured.* The foundation is an independent
  body that holds the copyrights to the Zope source code. It also
  maintains the zope.org website. The foundation is therefore able to
  ensure the continued promotion and development of the platform.

* *Accountable open source.* The Foundation, through its `copyright
  assignment policy`_, makes sure that any contributions by community
  members are placed under an accountable liberal open source license
  (the `ZPL 2`_). This makes Zope platform safe to use in any open
  source or proprietary setting.

* *Support the community.* The Zope community is made up of volunteers
  that care about the Zope platform. We help in organizing these
  volunteers so they have the ability to get things done and move Zope
  forward.

* *Promotion of Zope.* The Zope Foundation promotes Zope. One
   important channel we use to promote Zope is the zope.org website,
   which is managed by the foundation.

* *Project infrastructure.* Contributors to the Zope platform make use
  of extensive infrastructure in order to collaborate, ranging from
  mailing lists and issue trackers to version control systems. The
  Zope Foundation, thanks to volunteer contributions of its members,
  maintains this infrastructure.
