[Zope] dedicated folder for each user

Yes!

In general, you can do anything programmatically that you can
do with the management interface.

Because Zope is open source, you can learn from the management
interface, how to do it.

You take the following steps:

 * locate the source for the form that asks you for the
   required information.

   In your case, this will probably be a "*.dtml" file
   in the OFS folder.

 * Usually, the form "action" tells you the function/method
   that performs the operation (after the form is submitted).

   Sometimes, the function/method is given by the
   button name or button value (if the name end in ":method").

 * If you are lucky (most of the time, you will), then
   the function/method is documented in the object
   reference (-> zdp.zope.org), the Zope 2.2 online help
   or the interface Wiki (-> zope.org -> WikiCentral).

 * If you are not lucky, you can derive the function/method
   interface from the form variables.
   The request object contains variables for each (most of the)
   form input element (maybe with ":<type>" suffixes stripped
   and executed).


For your special task, you must also know, that
the logged in user is described by "AUTHENTICATED_USER"
and that this object has a method "getUserName".
