Hey that sounds great to/for us. We are some students working with and 
for Zope2, Zope3, Five and Plone and we are interested in starting some 
projects for the Summer of Code that are related to these projects and 
the upcoming ECMS project.

Glossary:

Zope2 and Zope3 http://zope.org/ are the current and upcoming new 
version of the Z Object Publising Environment. Zope is a highly advanced 
framework for web applications including a highly sophisticated database 
well know as ZODB and a web server.

Five (Zope 2+3) is a bridge between Zope2 and Zope3 that allows 
developers to create applications using the power of Zope3 in Zope2.

Plone http://plone.org/ is a highly advanced content management system 
and one of the killer applications based on Zope2.

ECMS is the current work name of a project started by the leading 
content management systems based on Zope2 (CPS from Nuxeo, Silva from 
Infrae, CMF and Plone) plus Zope3 developers to create common code base 
for enterprise content management systems based on Zope3.
