[ZWeb] Zope.org feedback screen

[Jeffrey P Shell]

Due to the age of CZO, most of the logic that responds to forms like  
this are in external methods, making playing with and tweaking  
difficult to do.  It's a good idea, but I'm unsure how easily it could  
be implemented in CZO.  If NZO is still a ways off, I'll look into how  
to deal with this.
