Could we create some docs on 'Newbie: How-to install the recent 
Zope3.1.0 on windows using the binary installer' provided at zope.org ?

At the moment http://dev.zope.org/Zope3/Zope310 is the only available doc.

It says
'Installation instructions for both Windows and Un*x/Linux are now 
available in the top level README.txt file of the distribution. The 
binary installer is recommended for Windows.'

Which means, you need to download the tarball to get to install 
instructions.

Would you like to comment on the questions below ?

Questions when using the binary installer on windows:

* already installed zope3 versions are recognized by the installer
* the user is prompted to uninstall first
* user knows where to uninstall
* user knows the name of the program to uninstall
* installer uninstalls on demand
* installer installs and exits
* user knows the place of the installation
* zope program group is created
   with contents of the program group
   * start.bat - startup zope
   * nt-service - install as a windows service
   * uninstall
   * documentation
     * zope docs
     * online docs
* create a new zope instance
* install and start zeo
* ...and your questions here

I will add your comments to http://zopewiki.org/ZopeOnWindowsInstaller 
for a quick start.

Michael
