Okay, since nobody else stepped up, you're now the Apache static file 
admin. The first step is to get you set up with access permissions. I'll 
go see who can help you there. I assume you're willing to sign a Zope 
Corporation agreement before you get access? The stuff is running on 
their hosting infrastructure right now and they want to be careful. The 
first thing I must do is acutally hunt up that agreement, which I've 
never seen myself. :)
