---------------

      Before you jump into the development of a product you should
      consider the alternatives. Would your problem be better solved
      with ZClasses, External Methods, or Python Scripts? Products excel
      at extending Zope with new addable classes of objects. If this
      does not figure centrally in your solution, you should look
      elsewhere. Products, like External Methods allow you to write
      unrestricted Python code on the filesystem.

         Considering the dearth of 'background' material on Zope approaches in general, and relating to Products in
         particular, I would find it hugely useful for someone knowlegeable to expand this section to discuss these
         alternatives at much greater length/depth. Please. Pretty please.
