The OFS subdir contains most of the standard Zope objects.
DocumentTemplate is the DTML implementation.
AccessControl is everything security related.
App is the groundwork, Product initialisation, ZODB connections, etc.
ZODB is the Object Database. Very low level.
StructuredText is a text formatter you can use from DTML.
TreeDisplay is the DTML tree tag.
ZPublisher takes care of the HTTP to object call translation, and 
translates the result back to a HTTP response.
ZClasses, DateTime and webdav speak for themselves.

In Products you'll find such things as SQL Methods and ZCatalog, and Shared 
houses specialist groundwork code, like the base classes for database 
integration.
