The API documentation is extremely minimal. You will be lost
if this is your only resource...

"SimpleItem" is covered as "ObjectManagerItem".
Or more precisely: about 10 % of it.

You can use my "DocFinder" product
  URL:http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope
to look at what is really there.
The disadvantage: it also documents methods that are there
for backward compatibility ony and should no longer be used.

An alternative would be "pydoc". You find necessary patches
at the above Web site to use it with Zope 2.4.
