Hang on, you're making out this project of yours is some big deal, and 
yet when questioned on whether you use sane development practises, you 
throw your hands up in the air...

If anyone is developing any kind of serious project, even as a "ZCA 
user", I'd expect them to have automated unit tests with execellent 
coverage. If you don't, then your project starts to look pretty weak.

zope-dev is for the development *of* the zope libraries
zope3-users is for people developing software *with* the zope libraries.
