Hello,

A major thread this week has been documentation.  Below are two entries
about the current process for addressing Zope documentation needs.  The ZDP
community continues to volunteer their efforts and talents to make Zope the
best it can be.  Digital Creations will be announcing their efforts in the
documentation area, SOON.

* Brian Lloyd's Zope article at Devshed has continued to generate
  an interesting discussion about Zope.

The mailing lists have been quite active, the documentation discussion
has spawn efforts from several directions. 

* Bradford Hull experienced extreme frustration with the available
  Zope documentation that started a lively discussion. Many community
  members added their frustrations to the lists and possible solutions.
