>>To complete the picture, we have to add Howtos to Tutorials.

>>*PART I Core content (with links to other parts)

>>*PART II Tutorials, Mini-tutorials and How-tos

>ZDP contains following projects :

>ZBook
>ZTutorials
>ZHowTo's
>ZFAQ
>ZSnippets
>ZIT
>ZQR

>ZTutorials : writing tutorials in a proposed layout (thus look is same)
>ZHow-To's : are more or like the same as ZTutorials :-), but not that
>explained and lengthly
>ZFAQ: resort for asking questions (and hoping some answers)
>ZSnippets : small information
>ZIT : installation tree
>ZQR : Quick reference
>
>Now, ZBook deals with making text around Zope (like a normal book) (was my
>first idea, see first 2 chapters). From ZBook we can link to interesting
>tutorials (if they are already written, if not, we first write a ZTutorial
>which then can be linked). Also when writing text around something and
>we've a howto or tutorial, we can link from ZBook to this tutorial/howto.
>When expanding ZBook, we look at the FAQ list and try to make new chapters
>from them (even if needed incorporate howtos to them).
>
>The ZCL is used to point out the chapters of ZBook. (thus we can see the
>ZCL as follows: a text document with links to the chapters of ZBook
>(PartI), links to ZTutorials (Part II), links to reference ...)
>
>If you look at this proposal, it is almost the same as you do. Only it
>keeps ZBook as a part of ZDP and not ZBook as a collection of several ZDP
>projects...
