I would like to suggest to the list manager that they copy/paste
the following into the list welcome message that a new subscriber
receives.

"Anything that can be done from the Zope Management Interface can
be done from your application.  Sometimes looking at the URL will
tell you the answer, sometimes you may need to view the page
source or page information.  This is the best way to learn how
Zope works and to use it to it's maximum.  If you cannot find the
answer there, the mailing archives are your greatest resource,
before asking on the list."

Dieter, Tino or someone answers a question like this at least
twice a week.  Not that they mind I'm sure but I know that the
best tip I received when starting out was when Dieter Maurer made
that point to me.
