Did I also mention Zope Zen? It sounds all cutesy and such, but it's real. 
There's a part where you just have to accept things on a certain level. The 
REQUEST is one of those things. There's other stuff, too, I'm sure...but I 
haven't gotten there yet. 

Recently one of the Zope gods mentioned that he was surprised that people 
seemed to be less interested in how to get stuff working quickly, and more 
interested in how things worked (or something to the effect). People do want 
to know the nuts and bolts, rather than ....well, here's the quote from Chris 
McDonough:
"The original aim of the Zope Book was to provide "instant gratification" 
to its reads by way of introducing simple applications straight away. 
But I've found that, by far, the people who are reading and commenting 
on the book want more often to know *why* something is the way it is 
than how to do it once by example."
This is from a post of his from 7/26/02...

HTH...
