Most of the sandbox will never change.  The major area that you need to
keep up to date (in my opinion) is ZopeOrg-NV.

Later we'll have to get you a read/write checkout of this.  If your 
sandbox currently works, and if you're ready to do some work, then later 
is now. :)

I don't think so.  It varies from page to page and user to user.

Great.  If you're ready, I can get on IRC and walk you through the 
creation of a read/write sandbox.
