Zope 3 will be such a platform without a doubt.

But we have to focus on Zope 2 for now. We're aiming at maximum
componentization in the context of Zope 2, but I'm not sure if you'll be
able to call the result a platform rather than a product.

In any case I'm pretty sure there will never be only one true groupware
solution with Zope 2, people's needs vary too much.
