all what you tell me because I'm a Zope beginner. Could you please
explain with details how to create a folder owned by a group? Is it a
folder or a CMF Topic Object? I made a test with a folder but I can't
see anything in my Plone interface...

I don't understand what you mean by " create a new Type as a
> copy of the Folder type and change its actions". Could you give me an
exemple?

Thanks.
