I can't remember the last time I could follow a Zope 3 proposal. The entry 
barrier is too high. I can't afford to spend 2 hrs reading up other stuff so I 
can understand the proposal I'm reading.

It's a time thing. Open Source, IMVH(umble)O, works best if you can enable 
people to pick off little bits that can be solved quickly. The proposals I've 
read don't make this easy, and as a result, I've done no Zope 3 coding since 
February.
