[Zope3-Users] Building an admin interface

[Joachim Schmitz]

hi Florian,

perhaps you should take a look at grok http://grok.zope.org. Look there 
for grokstar, which is a blog with nearly no user-interface. During the 
recent grog-sprint at EuroPython in Vilnius, I started working to 
improve it a little bit. It will soon be checked in.
