I've been poking around the edges of Plone for a while and Plone3 makes
the learning wall even steeper than Plone 2.  So last weekend I got
Grok, followed the tutorial, and had an application up in a day that
took me a week in Plone3.  Grok seems a great way for me to get into
Zope without worrying about all the details yet. 

Kudos to the Grok team for such a pleasant product, and for some REALLY
good tutorials.  Thanks!
