Then this is a good place to post. :)  Although I suggest limiting the  
discussion to zope-dev.

There aren't many details there, so it's hard to comment.

Some high-level comments:

- I suggest making porting C speed-ups a very low (non-existent)  
priority.

- I expect security proxies to be one of the greatest challenges.   
Maybe you can make them a low-priority by focussing initially on Zope  
3 applications that don't use them, like grok.

- I'd be inclined to take a bottom-up approach.  So, rather than  
trying to get the Zope 3 "application" (a.k.a. Zope-management  
interface, a.k.a Rotterdam skin, a.k.a zope.app.zcmlfiles) working,  
focus instead on zope.interface, zope.component, and zope.publisher.  
(Notice I didn't mention ZODB. :)

Are there wsgi servers for jython?
