[Zope-CMF] CMF Support Woes

I am underwhelmed at the limited amount of "good" material about CMF Dogbowl
out there. I was hoping this mailing list would fill in the gaps, but I
seem to be ignored; that is not really surprising considering the limited
number of posts on this list in a 24 hour period. Is there another mailing
list (or forum) that is more responsive to CMF newbies?
I am not trying to start anything, but I am grasping for help and there
seems to be little of it for this product. I understand that CMF is Open
Source (I too code C++ open source), but most other projects seem to have a
more responsive help sources (usually forums).
Basically, I need to add additional meta-data (for all portal content types)
to the edit meta data form, and I would like the full edit meta data form to
be the default. I would also like to have some meta-data entries to be
required. Is this possible to change via the ZMI, or do I need get out a
wrench and modify the code. (Not really knowing Python I would prefer a ZMI
method, but will take what help I can get). I did use the meta-data tool
to make new meta-data types, but they apparently do not "automatically"
appear in the form nor is there an apparent interface to add them to the
form.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
Warm Regards
Sheppard Norfleet
P.S. I have been looking for help on this topic for about 2 weeks, 5 days a
week, 8 hours a day, so please go gentle if I managed to miss a "good" help
source.

Sorry, I meant that to be 'Add portal content'.
I don't see the poitn in adding yet more permission names to make that damn
security tab even longer...

You call the view method of the respective object and pass its result
(as argument) into the External Method.
Alternatively, you pass the object itself and call its view method
in the External Method.

Read the "Cache Manager API" (--> embedded online help),
look at the management interface.
It is quite intuitive...

I've read all the hype. I've browsed the CVS source. I've even
downloaded and installed the tools into my cmf site. Now what?
I'm trying to evaluate CMFStaging to see if it's something I can use.
But I have no idea what to do with it once I have it installed (assuming
I have it installed correctly, as there's no README or INSTALL in the
CVS tree).
Any pointers?

Thanks, but I'm having problems with the Caching Policy Manager.
I'm using the following script and caching policy to attempt to cache
filesystem images.
## Script (Python) "isFSImage"
if context.meta_type == "Filesystem Image":
return 1
else:
return 0
Caching Policy: (as entered in fields)
Policy ID: AnyID
Predicate: content/isFSImage No-cache?: unchecked
Mod. Time: content/modified No-store?: unchecked
Max age (secs): 999999 Must-revalidate?: unchecked
Now, "Folder contents" seem to work fine except that it still takes its time
to reload the icons at every page view. (Icons at ZMI doesn't present this
problem so I believe it's not a browser issue), while attempting to view
"newsitem_view" throws the traceback below.
What am I missing?

Interesting. I'll try it right away.

Every now and then I've googled for information on how to use this tool, but
I haven't. found it so far. I wonder whether anyone could post a simple
explanation on the subject. :)

This is ok.

Sorry to jump in the middle.
What would the cache property be?
cache=??
The name of the cache manager?
