Both releases will be coming from the same code base.

Why don't the good rumors ever come my way?  I don't think we've even
discussed including ZODB in the core.  I don't think it would be a
good idea to include a large project like ZODB with its own life cycle
in the Python core.

Andrew's documentation is the best user docs that I'm aware of,
although Jim's SPAM 9 paper and the UML-based documentation available
from the wiki also have a lot of good information.  (In the latter
case, though, you have to intuit what's current and what's stale :-).

Documentation is a fairly high priority item.
