[Zope] reality check

[Craig P Avnit]

1. What platform did they implement it on?
2. The documentation can be improved on, but I have to question the "fast

afraid that no matter how good the documentation is he would still battle by
the sound of things.
3. What product is there yet? and what is "there"
