Yeah, that would be very helpful.

As a Zope Newbie, who's developed lots of database stuff in PHP and Perl, I 
am unclear on whether I'm "supposed to" try to make everything an object in 
ZODB.

Say I'm making a repository of documents, like articles or e-mail messages, 
and I expect to end up with 100s of thousands of those, should I 
confidently work on making them all Zope objects, or should I stick with 
mySQL records and/or files in the file system, like I normally would?
