[Zope] - Project I'd like to try. Suggestions?

Hi, all.  I've been a longtime Bobo user and list lurker, and am just
getting my toes into the deep Zope waters.  I've come up with an idea
to get myself started at playing with code, and I'd like to get a little
feedback about how to go about it before I plunge in.

I'd like to design a roll-over button class, where you would have, say,
two images and a method that spits out some HTML and Javascript to do 
a rollover sequence.  At first I'd be happy to get just the objects to 
appear on the web, maybe with a method to upload data, and then turn 
them into full-blown Products (which I take to mean that they'll be 
web-editable).  I'll gladly donate this code to the Zope effort if it 
works out nicely.

Does anybody have any pointers, suggestions, et al before I try to get 
started?  I am at Zope Zen 0.1 at this point and am still awaiting the 
lightbulbs (although I know they're there somewhere)...  Is this even 
the right kind of idea for Zope, or am I still stuck in the ways of Bobo?

Thanks...                                                      -- Tim
