I'm encouraged by the discussion regarding (from my perspective) what will
replace ZClasses, and these are the quotes that satisfy me as a user:

> We will provide the ability to define new content types with a GUI
> that lets you define a schema for the content type and then have a
> module generated for you. The module will contain the shema
> definition and the definition of a class that defines the schema.
>
> You will be able to define views for the class solely with templates, if
> you wish.  (Jim Fulton)

> I agree that something based on prototypes might be useful. (JF)

> The heart of the matter is that we don't want a huge shift when Zope
> newcomers become Zope developers.  We need to eliminate the "Z-shaped
> learning curve".  To achieve that, there must not be a sharp
> transition from TTW development to filesystem-based development.
> Ideally, there should be no transition at all. (Casey Duncan)
