We need this, it is powerfull tool, and developer can include apidoc in any
moment. But I think, developer needs these features mostly in
_some_context_, i.e. to inspect components "on fly", not just to see docs.
The more so the documentation should be moved out the doctests in future,
yes? In this case displaying them via wsgi-server is not the best idea...
there are editors, Sphinx, etc. Summary, lets' divide:

1) Need to see dynamic data - i.e. components, relations between them.
2) Need to see static documentation.

For dynamic data - inspect registry. Sometimes, we dive into exist zope3
project and "I am feeling that somewhere registered adapter, but where he,
is the devil...".

There is a way to enable it only in devmode with zcml:condition="have
> devmode".

BlueBream is server-side software. When I create project, I need deploy this
project on my sandbox and on server, in any case. So, I spend time for
production-server-boilerplates, copy-past from older projects :)

Then we need decide:
1) We provide the simple and policy-free template
2) Or we provide powerful template for server-side projects. It can be
relatively polcy-free, I think.



If there is a way to do this without needing the templating, I would be +1

alternative - zcml in .cfg files - here is example:
http://paste.lisp.org/+23S0

But it seems, templates is better... I'm not sure exact... Personally for
me, these big and mess buildout.cfg files is bad. And system administrators
not liked this, I know (because we need provide instructions how to edit
these files, remove or add bootstrap manager and etc.)
