We use cron. :|

We shelved Sheduler a while back because:

  - It wasn't critical to the projects we were working on,

  - At the time, threads were problematic on some platforms
    we did care about (and Scheduler was threads based),

  - We were planning to add concurrency application-wide
    and we expected the scheduler design to be significantly
    affected.

We plan to revisit Scheduler in a big way after Zope 2.0
is releases, however, if anyone wants to make progress on
Scheduler now, I'd be happy to provide advice and review.
