[Zope] [Ann] Another Zope Book

[Andy McKay]

There is room for both books. Zope is a powerful and very deep products. The
majority of users are unlikely to go into a great deal of python, most are
going to use the dtml and other basic functionality. If Zope is going to
increase its market then this sort of book is essential to make Zope
accessible. Can I help at all?

But a book covering the internals will be useful. One of my gripes about the
documentation is how spread out and hard to find it is there's Wiki's here,
presentations there... I've often searched zope.org and come up blank, when
people on the mailing list can point it to me in 2 mins. But searching
zope.org is another matter entirely :)

my 2 cents.
