Let me second that motion. I'm just starting with Zope and I would love to
see more examples to study.

Also, someone was suggesting and index/glossary of variables, dtml
commands and  such. This would also be extremely handy for those of us who
are still in the process of figuring out what is possible with Zope, let
alone how to do it.

Further, I agree with the person who suggested a thoughtful reorganization
of the existing Zope docs. I know there's a lot of good work there, but I
struggle to find what I need. Exactly what makes it difficult to use is
difficult to say, but certainly adding search capabilities would help.

BTW, I am having a great time learning Zope. I'm envious of you
experienced Zope users out there.
