[Zope] Developing a general groupware platform in Zope/Python

[Chris McDonough]

You're not doing your lobbying in the right place, unfortunately... on the
maillist, nobody can hear you scream. ;-)

You should add this to the Zope 2.6 proposed features list at
http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/Zope2.6/ProposedFeatures, then
find someone to design and implement it or do so yourself.  Note that
something like this is a fairly major effort and probably requires a set of
proposals in the fishbowl as a result.
