[Zope] Zope site's sidebar

[Oliver Giller]

Dear Zopesers,

I have been directing the zope.org site to learn more about the cool
things that Zope can do. I have always learned best by example, and I am
so glad that they have that view DTML link at the bottom. 

I have run across two areas that I am not sure how things are done.

One is the sidebar on the zope site, it is the menu and News column that
runs down the left hand side. What is a sidebar_contents, is it a object
type, a folder, or something else?
Also what is a sequence-item, is it value stored in a sidebar_contents?
The other part of the sidebar that I had a question about was the
News.Headlines function, can someone give me an idea of how it works?

 The code to the side bar can be viewed here:
      http://www.zope.org/dtml_source?path=/sidebar

The second thing that I had a question about was the navbar that runs
across the top of each page. Is that a static element stored in the
highest folder of the different sections or dynamicly created?

Thanks for all you help Zopesers.....

 Opting for the blue light special over the blue screen special.
