[Zope] Followup on custom object management

[Jim Harrison]

In followup to Alex Schad's question, what is the best way to learn about 
Zope's internal methods for managing objects so that we can write custom 
management pages for users, as Jordan Baker suggests?

I'm currently working with Confera and I'd like use it to set up a 
workflow system where users can edit or delete previous entries using a 
custom screen to manage the messages. I'm having difficulties with both 
the content and security of the management pages--since they don't appear 
as DTML documents in the Confera topic folder (I guess they're Python 
methods), I can't find their template contents to inspect or visualize 
their position in the object hierarchy.

Obviously, I'm an abject newbie. Zope looks like it has some fantastic 
features and if I can just get enough of the object model into my head, I 
think I'll be OK.

Zope 1.10.2 and Confera 1.2.0 on WinNT.

Thanks,

Jim Harrison
