As the current product lead for the PTK, and a DC consultant who
uses it every day in developing software for customers, I wouldn't
say that your statement is, perhaps, misleading.  While I'm not the
person who negotiates support contracts for DC, I do know that DC
sees the PTK as a key element of our future growth plans.

In the meantime, most people get their support fo using the PTK
from the place they get support for using Zope:  right here on
the lists:

  mailto:zope-ptk@zope.org

  http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope-ptk

  http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-ptk

(I watch the PTK tracker, as well).
