Sounds good! The UI and documentation groups will likely have
significant overlap anyway, so you may end up doing something of
both. A significant part of the documentation will also be
'science fiction', describing systems which are incomplete yet,
guiding us hopefully into the right direction.

I think there's definitely value in a transition document, I agree
with Guido van Rossum that there should be stand-alone documentation
as well. I think you will be able to form both documents as you're
sifting the Zope 2 comparison stuff away from the stand-alone stuff,
though.

Shall I add you to the documentation group in the wiki or will you
do so yourself?
