I will also work on this tomorrow.

So by monday the following topics will be written for me:
   Zope installation on NT (different from what DC provided but inspired
   from it)
   Zope installation with IIS
   Zope security on NT
   Zope security with IIS

I have skimmed thru it and it looks quite good. We should just skip it
at this moment (well, nobody would prevent you if you still going
forward with your topics, but hey, you still got that security topics
:).

The risk of duplication is always there. If we don't do ZBook quick
enough, we might as well abandon the beginners part and go
for the more less documented area. ZBooks content is a moving target. If
in 4 weeks there is no substantial contribution to ZBook, it's as good
as dead.

We don't have to write everything from scratch. There are many (about
53) how-tos available,for Zope currently. But they are just that,
how-tos for a very specific thing. Good enough for solving problems
(sometimes) but it's not a good way to learn Zope. What we can do is
to find a way to integrate and collect those how-tos into ZBook (if
modification necessary, request the original author for modification,
off course with credits)

Yes, for that ZBook must be substantially good, otherwise, this is a
waste of time.

We can talk and talk and talk right now. Until we fill that ZCL (or
whatever it finally turns out to be), we cannot
expect DC to hand the documentation to ZDP.

So, let's start writing.
