When you access your local zope instance like http://localhost:8080/
you see the default 'Zope QuickStart' document with a list of useful 
information and links to helful resources.

One of the point says: "Import and then check out the new example Zope 
applications. These examples show you simple working Zope applications 
that you can copy and modify"

Just click the 'Import' link and look into the newly created 'Examples' 
folder in ZMI.

It features working example projects like a FileLibry, a GuestBook, a 
Navigation tool and a ShoppingCart -- check out the sources and browse 
the recent ZopeBook at http://www.plope.com/Books/2_7Edition for more 
information.
