No, the order is totally random; well not quiet - I just listed the recipes as 
I thought of them.

Okay, I can move that up the chain of writing. However, the hellopackage and 
jobboard demo products are pretty simple and self-understood.

I am still thinking of a nice example theme to use. Maybe an address book is a 
good choice. 

I think the experienced Zope 2 developer should start with most of the 
introduction chapters, since they will give you the gist of things. 

Something I try to avoid is to make a Zope 2 in comparison with Zope 3 book. I 
think this would destroy the flow and conciseness of the writing. However, I 
draw parallels from time to time.

Cool, I will keep you in mind! :-) I am planning to work a lot on the book in 
the next weeks, so I might have something to review soon.

Thanks for responding.
