[Zope] ZODB and persistent objects

[Les Ferguson]

I have searched and read a whole bunch of stuff on ZODB.  Why do all the 
examples I can google for seem to resort to telling us how to implement 
ZODB externally from Zope?  Where is some good old fashioned example 
code for implementing a simple collection of objects within Zope?

I want to keep a small collection of data, the last 10 customer id's 
that were viewed/updated, with a timestamp and maybe a brief name field. 
  This collection will be managed by an object that can do, eg.
   recentCust.Add(Customer_id, BriefName)
   recentCust.GetList()
I thought rather than poking this small dataset into MySQL, I could just 
keep it in ZODB as a queue-type collection of data.

What is the best approach for achieving this?  Do I create a folder and 
store persistent objects in it of some kind, or are there more suitable 
built-in queue classes or dictionary type features already in the Zope API?
