[Zope] CVS version of Zope and Squishdot

I'm looking to pick up on Squishdot development until Butch Landigan has some free time, where can I
find out how things 'should' be indexed?
In general where should I look for documentation on the python-end of Zope development?

I think I'm missing something 'cos I dont' understand this :S
Are you saying Catalog indexes are bad or are you saying ZCatalogs are badly designed?
