<div>I think a calendar app is an outstanding idea, and I would certainly help.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I've gotten 3 different books on Zope 3 and Plone, and I still really can't get my head around it. When compared to Rails and Django, Zope3 doesn't have those simple yet thorough examples to really get you going.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>A beginner's tutorial needs to be thorough, showing how to handle CSS, updates, and so on. I look at Schooltool and am very impressed with their calendar app, but don't know how to start analyzing it.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Also, a calendar app would be good to help transition developers from the database world to the ZODB world. How do you create one-to-many tables in Zope? Or Many-to-many tables with an intermediary table? Is there a way to maintain the relations between these tables? How do I pull data out of these tables to analyze in Excel? I would gladly help in any good-sized tutorial like this.
</div>

<div>As an aside, I first looked at Zope back in 1999, and printed out loads of documents, but couldn't get anything working. Zope3 is extremely powerful stuff, but I keep reading around the web how frustrated people get with it. It's good seeing how people here want to put together tutorials and keep pushing Zope.
