I think this deserves announcement to larger audiences. I'm thinking
freshmeat.net here, but at least a front page announcement on Zope.org
(i.e. in the Zope News box, which should be trivial).

If you're worried about people needing to change the library (which I
translate as meaning that: if people need changes, these changes should
also benefit everyone), this could be handled by having this as a
standalone project with all bells and whistles (sourceforge and stuff).
