I don't need explanations of *why* we're not doing PR. I don't see the 
explanations as necessary in order to change the situation. It just 
takes a few people to step up and do the actual PR. The best PR at this 
point is a good collection of documentation in a site that looks like 
one for a serious open source project.

Lots documentation on the ZODB is available, scattered around the web. 
Let's gather it into one place for starters.

So, please, someone actually do something about this rotten situation? 
Finally? Please? Please?

P.S. This is not a complaint to all the people who are doing something. 
We just need a bit of effort from some more people to get this done.
