"manage_editProperties" has the following signature:
def manage_editProperties(self, REQUEST)
As you see, there is indeed no parameter named "contact".
You can do instead:
self.manage_editProperties({'contact' : newcontact})
This means, you build a dictionary with the new property
values and pass it as REQUEST.
Be WARNED:
"manage_editProperties" changes *ALL* properties
of your object, even those not mentioned in the
dictionary!
What you may want to use instead is "manage_changeProperties".
It will change just the mentioned properties, 'contact'
in your example.
I think, you find this information in the Zope integrated
help system (API Reference, Property Manager).
If not, then look at the source: OFS.PropertyManager.PropertyManager.
It contains good source documentation.
