Great :)

I tried to explain grok a little on the wiki page. I also adapted the 
example app (Hello World) to grok. It admittedly doesn't look that much 
different, except that it requires much less configuration (because like 
most browser pages, it follows a common default, it's public, has the 
same name as the class, etc.)

I don't know if it helps at such short notice, but I recently prepared a 
little screencast demonstrating a small grok application: 
http://www.archive.org/details/grok_todo_part1. This is a 15 minute 
watch, so perhaps something for the plane ;).

I also added a note about AJAX. While I'm not an AJAX expert myself, I 
do like what some Plone folks have come up with. They call it KSS and it 
works indepedently from Plone on both Zope 2 and Zope 3. It allows you 
to write AJAX using server-side Python and client-side CSS-like 
stylesheets. That's probably why I as an AJAX-non-expert like it :).
