I've looked at your kicker docs and they seem quite nice.  I will ask ZC
mgmt about it, but the answer will almost certainly be "we aren't paying
anything right now to maintain Zope docs," as it has been for the last
year or so.  I can't say I completely agree with that decision, but I
can't begrudge the sentiment considering the state of the economy, and I
certainly don't think they are obligated to maintain *any* docs.

There are also a tremendous number of community contributors to the Zope
Book 2.6 edition who have come up with some pretty incredible things.  
See the preface for their names and what they've done. All in all, I
think the book is coming along quite nicely without funding or a
full-time editor, although it's probably not sustainable in the long
term to not have someone who gets paid be responsible for docs.  Or
maybe it is.  Who knows?
