Unfortunately that isn't working.

Glad you raised that - to me external methods fit in the charter
of both lists.  ie discussion of the operation of Zope blends
with discussion about the internal mechanisms of Zope.

But I agree - perhaps we should try and keep anything with sample
code on zope-dev, especially with the rise in non-coding traffic
on the main list.
