I totally agree!

Maybe it's an idea to create a list (or database, or spreadsheet) on =
Zope.org=20
that shows the 'preferred product' per task.
Since I'm quite new to Zope it's better that someone more experienced
creates it AND keeps it up to date (otherwise it wouldn't be usefull). =
:-)

Something like this I think would be helpfull:
- task
- short task description
- preferred product
- short preferred product description
- since when it's a preferred product
- since which Zope-version it's a preferred product
- link to extensive product description

Hopefuly somebody has a crack at it. ;-)
