Totally agreed.

Probably the main reason I've made no real Zop 3 contributions of late is that 
it's too difficult to get into. I think this is due to lack of documentation.

That said, I'm not sure long and convoluted proposals (which I never have time 
to read properly ;-) help either.

What I really need is a 'beginners guide for potential developers' showing me 
the overall shape of the thing so I know where to best pitch in.

It's be nice if I knew where and how to document Zope 3 too. Maybe we need a CMS 
for that? Dogfood eating anyone? (Just as long as it doesn't end up like 
cmf.zope.org, please god!)

cheers,
