That's of course by itself very good to have.

But that doesn't take away that I think Zope 3 should play nice with 
other systems, and that doing this will make Zope 3 be perceived as 
opening up more to the Python world. This is a good thing, as the rest 
of the Python world has much to offer and we have, hopefully, much to 
offer the rest of the Python world. This is yet another part of my theme 
of "Zope 3 as an open source project" and how to make it succesful on a 
social level, not just a technical level -- I think in fact that making 
software successful on a social level also can improve its technology, 
flattening learning curves and the like.
