Woops. That's my testing style for you.

I am playing with the idea of setting up a documentation project. I know
python has this wonderful selfdocumentation feature built right in, but the
Zope Help interface only gives docs on a limited number of objects, and the
sourcecode docs are incomplete.

The documentation should include a DTML reference, an object reference, a
HOWTO section and a tutorial section. Using Zope user folders we can also
include Product documentation, brought to you by the authors themselves.

If someone gives me some space on a Zope server (our company is completely
behind a firewall, and I don't have any external serverspace to do this on
right now), we can work out a structure and fill in all the blanks we have
now. I believe DigiCool mentioned something on their site about hosting
community projects? We can make zope.org the Zope equivalent of Mozilla.org.
