We know.  :-) Have you checked out the Zope book?

This answer is definitely in the Zope book.  If it's not, there's the
(unfinished) chapter of the Zope Product Developer's Guide Security chapter
at http://www.zope.org/Members/mcdonc/PDG/6-1-Security.stx.

There is no quota support in Zope.  You'd need to write code to enforce a
constraint on total upload size.
