[Zope] any more information on using UserDB anywhere?

[Jens Vagelpohl]

While we're on the subject of unsupported products and what's for 
download on the website: i went through the stuff under "contributed 
software" a couple days ago and saw some really neat stuff, but it 
seems that development just stopped mid-way and of course there never 
is any indication of conflicts with Zope 2.0. one product i want to 
mention in this regard is NotMail, which i would love to put on my server.

if any of the authors who were so nice as to make them available for 
all of us could make a quick statement as to their products' Zope 2.0 
compliance and maybe add if the product is still being developed or 
not?

that would be a great help i think :)
