I agree. 'hello' and 'jobboard' should go into zope.examples.

Well, I think Jim's proposal ("Packaging") made it clear and I agree 
with flattening the package hierarchy, especially in zope.app.

I'm not so sure about the name 'zope.products', though. It could confuse 
Zope2 developers and make them think that they should put their own 
filesystem products in there. The word "product" has an extremely 
overloaded connotation in the Zope2 world, anyway. How about 
'zope.packages'?
