Right, but I also had a chat with Jim about zope3.org at the Plone 
Conference and it wasn't my impression that it was just about the Zope 3 
developer's wiki. Perhaps this was a misunderstanding in our conversation.

Yes, I think calling the whole project zope3.org was a bit of a misnomer 
which set people to think about things quite different than your intent. 
  That this happens to quite a lot of people is a hint that it might not 
be an optimal name anyway; people expect to see something else when they 
go there than that wiki. See my reply in the thread where I try to clean 
up our terminology.
