[Zope3-dev] Learning Zope3

Shane is writing documentation this week for it. Also, I just rehashed 
Zope.App.ZopePublication, so you might want to look out for checkings. Ah 
ja, you should also subscribe to zope3-dev and zope-checkins (the best 
source for the latest news about Zope).

Yes, this is easy to understand and shows you much about the component 
architecture as well.

BTW, I do not think that any community member (or for that argument even 
Jim) would claim that s/he understands everything of the system. Some of 
the sub-packages in itself are very, very complex, such as Zope.Server I 
think; but then I know Shane will hopefully fill some holes next week. I 
just implemented XML-RPC and it the functioning of the internals is 
actually very cool.

Stephan
