Yes.  In theory there will be far less ambiguity about the right way of 
doing things.

In fact, it is probably that this group will stand to gain the most out 
of Zope 3, because the learning curve will be much smoother - provided 
the documentation is there ;-)

This is not necessarily an easy sell.  Many existing Zope2 developers 
will be loathe to throw away their hard-won zen.
