I think these helpers are me and Fernando Correa Neto. :-) We have
done some work on this topic in the end of 2007:

http://69.60.119.12:8888/zodb.zope.org
http://69.60.119.12:8888/zodb.zope.org/documentation

We stopped working (lack of time), but we're planning to do a
"two-person sprint" next month on FISL (Fórum Internacional de
Software Livre / Free Software International Forum, here in Brazil).
Our plan is to write "one tutorial to rule them all", upgrading a
pre-existent tutorial (perhaps the one on SVN) and add links / how-tos
based on these links:

There are many basic tutorials on ZODB; I think we should get rid of
most of them and centralize the documentation.

After the zope.org theme get ready we can customize it for
ZODB.zope.org. If anyone wants a user on this plone site, please
contact me. We need help. :-)
