[Zope] How do _you_ contribute articles to a Zope intranet?

A sidestep about the IEDocument installation problems:

Hmm, I didn't use the Standard site product at all. Just install
the IEDocument product and you should be able to add an "IEDocument"
from the pulldownbox in the ZMI.  I remember having problems with
the .zexp as well. I can't test anything at the moment unfortuately.

I remember some discussion on the ZFC (Zope Fat Client) a while ago,
but I can't find any recent info about it. I found some interesting
stuff at: http://collector.zope.org/Zope3-dev/31
"Paul Everitt and I (Stephan Richter) agree that Zope 3 has to ship at
least with one client that is a little bit more than just HTML"
Looks like Zope3 has some of that...

In the meantime I might start on wrapping up my patches into a Zope
product (I'll wait for 2.6 to be released, before starting playing
with Zope again).
