Hi,
Great idea, I think quick dirty tricks are a good way to get into Zope 3

I have started a similar project, in the shape of a cookbook,
that tries to gather quick recipes in both french and english.

It is just starting, but I have also gathered a list of planned recipes,
by asking around what people would like to know about z3
in such recipes, (look in the 'planned work' section of the website)
maybe you will get  some extra ideas there ?

http://zope-cookbook.org

about the project:

  The cookbook comes in the shape of a Zope 3 package and provides
  a test script, so the Zope 3 test tools and most of code examples are
tested for real.
  It is useful for example to make sure the recipes are always up to
date with the code.

  the website just shows readable recipes, wich are marked as 'completed
draft' in all languages
 
  It is written in english (franglish ;) ) and french.

Cheers

Tarek

btw: writers from any language and level, if you are interested in the
project, please join ! writing recipes about zope 3 is a marvelous way
to learn it.
