[Zope-CMF] CMFTopics Q.

Hey everyone,

I'm really having trouble wrapping my brain around CMFTopics. I understand
that they're canned ZCatalog searches. But it isn't at all clear to me how
to get them going on my site.

Here's a hypothetical (OK, it's not all that hypothetical :-)

I've got one large portal for the entire school district (who knows, maybe
I'll change my mind about that). Let's say I've got a few people submitting
news for different schools and other events. Let's say I've got a folder
'sibley' for Sibley High School and a subfolder called 'athletics' for our
Athletic Dept.

I'm assuming that using Topics will allow me to show Sibley news only when a
visitor is in that folder and sports news (for Sibley only) in
/sibley/athletics/

Have I got that right?

-Tim
