Okay, there's some confusion about this, and I should've read to this 
point in the thread before I started replying... I much more interested 
in Zope 3 (developer-level) marketing than in improving the Zope 3 
developer's wiki, and think anything called 'zope3.org' should better 
have a good top-level set of pages that appeals to a broader audience 
than Zope 3 core developers.

So let's not call the Zope 3 developers wiki 'zope3.org', as this is 
rather confusing...

Let's separate some concepts here:

* Zope 3 site: the new Zope 3 website with Zope 3 specific information. 
This could be hosted under zope3.org but is not a requirement.

* dev wiki NG: New Zope 3 developer's wiki. This will be hosted under 
the Zope 3 site, though I'd recommend strongly against hosting it under 
zope3.org toplevel as that'd be bad marketing.

* Zope 3 information integrated into zope.org. Probably done on a 
superficial level as it's rather a beast. If Zope 3 site becomes good 
enough we may turn around and integrate Zope 2 information *there* instead.

* Wikification: software to run dev wiki NG but not only that: also to 
run parts of the Zope 3 website. The idea is we try to use a wiki to run 
the Zope 3 site, so the wiki software is broader in scop than just for 
the dev wiki.

What happened at the sprint was mostly work on Wikification and dev wiki 
NG. It was *called* zope3.org but we'll now hopefully consider this a 
misnomer. :)
