     Is there any chance I could persuade you to add some info on them all?

     (or at least some stub pages you can point me at to edit?)


There are a lot, and more than that I don't think it's a great model to 
have me typing in every product page myself.

On the other hand.. it wouldn't take *that* long..

If you and I another volunteer or three spent 10 minutes a day on #zope, it 
wouldn't take long at all.

Here's three ways to add a page:

- create by url: go to http://zopewiki.org/TheProduct . If it isn't found, 
click the create button. Enter some notes. Even a single hyperlink or a 
one-line description is a good start.

- create in the right place: go to http://zopewiki.org/products . Scroll 
down, look for a suitable sub-category and go there. Enter "TheProduct" in 
the page management form at the bottom of the page and click the create button.

- create by mail-in: subscribe (http://zopewiki.org/ZopeWiki/subscribeform) 
and then forward email to zopewiki at zopewiki.org .

Here are some niceties, which you can follow if you like:

- include the word ZopeProduct, to unambiguously mark this page as a 
distinct zope product. This is a little bit handy for things like 
http://zopewiki.org/WikiStats#products .

- the first paragraph is used as the page summary, so make it a nice snappy 
overview.

- after that, add the home page link and any others you want. Most pages 
use STX's -- definition lists.

- subscribe to the wiki or watch the front page to hear about and augment 
new product pages
