FWIW, we've been pushing the development of Zope3 through an idea called
"sprints", where we get a group of people together and follow an XP
style of programming for two days. It has generated a lot of enthusiasm
and yielded some unexpected dividends. Others on the list here have
participated in a sprint, they might be able to comment on its structure
or outcomes.
Thus, I also give Andrew's proposal a big thumbs up.
