[Zope] DISCUSS: Improving default content

[Theodore Patrick]

<START>
Including several folders of info would be most helpful especially
considering the ability to view the source and view the results. This will
make the learning curve disappear.

Personally I never realized the elegance of Zope until I started working
with forms and considering there was only one example of that feature. It
took me a while to be singing its praises mostly because of the learning
curve.

<Proposed EXAMPLES>

1. A mock site showing the functions and included comments
2. Language Guide with examples
	a. Syntax for DTML - General Examples
	b. ZOPE Methods and examples of each
	c. Variables and examples of each
	d. Zope Expressions and examples

	Go through examples of the different tags
	
	#var
	#if
	#call
	#expr
	#else
	#unless
	#in
	#raise
	#comments
	#tree
	#sendmail
	formatting syntax
	batch processing variables and attributes
	_= namespace variable
	math attributes
	string attributes
	whrandom attributes
	name lookup
	request variables and attributes
	response variables and attributes
	cgi-defined variables and attributes

3. General Zope Guide to OO Design
4. Zope Access Control and Security
5. SQL and Database Publishing
	1. SQL Language Guide - Examples in Zope
6. ZOPE ZEN
7. ZOPE SITE **** GOOD CALL*****
</Proposed EXAMPLES>

KEEP IT SIMPLE AND CLEAN AND YOU WILL BROADEN THE ZOPE USER BASE. We will
all benefit.
