From MikeP's SoftwareProduct:
 
  http://www.zope.org/Members/MikeP/ZDiscussions

  Z Discussions 0.1.0 contains three products:

   **ZDBase** --
    ZDBase contains the common base classes the other two products are built
    on top of. It does not register any object types that you can instantiate
    in Zope, but you can subclass them with Python or ZClasses. This Product
    must be installed for either of the other two Products to work.

   **ZDConfera** --
    ZDConfera is the souped-up drop-in compatible replacement for Confera.
    It is a Python Product, so no addiitonal installation beyond extracting
    the archive is required.
  
   **Z Discussions** --
    Z Discussions is the new, improved, legacy-free, Z Class threaded
    discussion object. If ZDiscussions does not sharpen your knives, put the
    starch back in your shirt and the ZIP back in your marriage, return the
    unused portion for a full refund!
