The PTK is mainly bleeding edge but there are people using it for real
worl apps. If you want to do so, you will probably need to be

There's a big change which I think Shane Hathaway is working on right
now which should make a lot of the needs to do this go away.

And I am working on Squishdot ;-)

Parting advice would be to join the zope-ptk@zope.org mailing list and
look out for any interesting developments.
