Actually I agree with you. The big thing will be to show people how to
think about Z3. One of the problems I had in the early stages 
of my Zope/CMF learning was actually how to apply the many ways of doing
things the correct way. API doc's and source don't necessarily convey,
they just show the opportunity to do something is there, or that
differnt people have done the same thing 3 different ways. I think it
will be important to convey the philosphy/approach (not the correct word
I agree) to Z3 new comers, not just the API's.

See ya
