that's right for very, very, very large & active teams... packing the 
ZODB once or twice a day [or every hour] should avoid the data.fs from 
growing too big. maybe undoable transactions are quite funny for a 
groupware-system... so: I'd prefer the ZODB even for 
Group/Teamware-systems...;-)

maybe we should walk through the products-lists at zope.org and 
integrate the promising ones [for groupware-functionality of course] 
under a single [interfaced] framework...
