Strictly speaking, that's not true. I am a developer with Zope
and sometimes provide bug reports and patches for Zope but do
not develop Zope itself.

You use "App.ImageFile.ImageFile" to make it an attribute of
your "Groupware" class. All your instances inherit this attribute
and can access it in the normal way.

Most products contain examples of this approach.
