[Zope-Annce] [ANN] Zope 2.8.0 released

[Andreas Jung]

Unfortunately I forgot to mention the whole Five team that contributed Five
to Zope 2.8:

  Martijn Faassen, Sidnei da Silva, Philipp von Weitershausen,
  Lennart  Regebro

Forgetting to mention you was not intentional in any way...just the result 
of my bad memory...Sorry!
