Darryl, your decimal field changes would be welcome, as would a  
currency field.  Unfortunately, having one person check in another's  
work in the Zope repository has legal complications, and in fact, in  
this transition period to the ZF, only ZC has the right to check in  
another's work.  Generally, it is /much/ better for a contributor to  
check in his own work.

Would you be willing to become a contributor?  Until the ZF is in  
full swing, the following procedure is still available and has the  
least ambiguity (from http://www.zope.org/DevHome/Subversion/FrontPage):

"""
ContributorIntroduction (http://www.zope.org/DevHome/Subversion/ 
ContributorIntroduction) gives background information on the  
approach. ContributorFAQ (http://www.zope.org/DevHome/Subversion/ 
ContributorFAQ) summarizes questions and answers. Finally, the Zope  
Contributor Agreement (http://www.zope.org/DevHome/Subversion/ 
Contributor.pdf) is the legal agreement that gets signed and returned.
"""

For reference, once the ZF is in full swing, the relevant parallel  
documents are here: http://www.zopefoundation.org/
