[Zope] [ZOPE.ORG] suggestion for download area (replacement)

[Philip Aylesworth]

Oops! I sent it before I was done. Here is the complete one.

A frustration of mine:

On the download page it would be nice to have an explination of what the
software is for. Ditto for contributed software.

For example, how do I find out what confera will do without installing it
and spending a week playing with it? That is what I did with Zope. It is
not the best way to sell software, even free stuff!

Maybe there could be a second link to a document explaining what the
component does. (It could be writen by the contributer of the software, so
it wouldn't be much work for the zope.org webmaster.) That would be
especially great in the contributed software. What are XMLConfig, MySQL
Input Wizard, slashdot.py anyways! They sound interesting but I am still
learning 10 other things, I need to know what they do first!

This is the INFORMATION AGE, afterall!

Phil.
