I originally advocated "Zope 2004" because it clearly skips 2003 (even 
though many zope-coders will be working hard on it).  I think that's 
somewhat informative, non-threatening (i.e., implies zope2 is *the* 
zope to use through 2003), and neutral.  I don't remember anyone else 
+1'ing that suggestion.

Then someone else suggested ZCS which generated some interest and, at 
least, advertises the component aspect of zope, so I switched to that.  
It has a nice ring and seems good enough.

I think the ZCS 0.x (Seb's suggestion) versioning will show that it's 
prenatal software, so that should explain that it's experimental.  So, 
I'm expecting the version to indicate the iffy nature of the software 
(rather than the name).

That's about it.
