No one is :-/  It's a work in progress, but one of its concepts runs 
like this:

The Zope root contains a Service Manager.  There is a way to create 
subfolders that have Service Managers, too.  When you visit an SM, one 
of the things you can do there is install a "Package".  This will add 
"Components" and "Services" to the SM.  (Why the scare quotes?  Because 
these things aren't well defined yet).  You can then configure these 
things, and they will be available within that part of the site (the 
whole site, if it's the root SM).  Some "Services" are "Factories", 
which allow you to create objects.

So, in this future world, you would go to your site's Service Manager, 
install the ZPT Package there, then configure the "Page Template" 
Factory to set 'expand' off in new instances.  Maybe.

Cheers,

Evan @ Zope
