The simple way would be to store it in the ZODB. If you need a really
quick solution, you can just makenew folder-objects with attributes, or
dtml-documents with the form-values as content.

i think there is a guestbook or something similar in the
basic examples provided with a fresh installation of Zope that works
this way.

Instantiating objects programatically should be documented in the API
reference
http://zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/2_6Edition/AppendixB.stx

If you need more specific custom objects, you could try Zclasses, or
making a simple python product.
