I don't have a hard deadline for the project. I have my own company, 
doing mostly Zope/Plone based projects. What I am talking about is a 
strategic platform that I want to use for many years ahead.

I will work on it beside the paying gigs. Those are allready in Zope 
2.x. I will not abandon those.


But my main project is non-cmf based, has a lot of cruft, and it *will* 
need a complete overhaul sometime in the next year anyway.

That will be my main approach, but I would like to write the next 
version of the software in ZX3 to get a clean long lasting platform.

I learned Z2 when it was poorly documented, so I guess I could learn Z3 
the same way ;-)

I am fully aware that it isn't complete yet. I am just trying to get a 
better feel for *how* uncomplete it is.
