A strange view...

   When Zope Corp would realize that its work falters, this would
   call for re-prioritization.

   When the community (or part thereof) realizes it needs more documentation,
   then it can start to provide them.

   You got Zope, a nice piece of software. What did you give
   that you think it is fair to ask for more?

   I think, Zope Corp has the same right than you have to focus
   on their customer projects and only then look for the community...

Then start to write some of them! You are part of the community...
