First of all I must say that the *current* goals are quiet different than the 
goals of zope.org.

zope3.org is really a hybrid of of Z2's version of zope.org and dev.zope.org 
but in a limited fashion. We just want to develop and test some tools for 
Zope 3 there but with a purpose (since it is much more fun to write a tool 
having a goal in mind).

Well, but we want to build zope3.org using Zope 3 now, but it will take a long 
time for Zope 3 before we could make a full-blown zope.org site with it.
