I think I have the necessary skills:  I'm pretty fluent in Python, have played with Zope in the past, am comfortable w/ unit tests, and I've spent a good chunk of my career writing documents that translate IT issues into simple, clear English so non-techies understand them.

This sort of help would be really great.

Even better, it would help if you or someone else could provide help
organizing the documentation and the documentation efforts of others.
