you mentioned and found it on the cvs of zope.org; however, there isn't 
any README.txt nor CHANGES.txt on it. Do you or anybody else knows if 
there is a page of the project with this info? I didn't found it.

Zope complains about the Product "Event", so, I installed it, but there 
isn't a README with this info. I also saw that when you try to add an 
instance of the Scheduler, you need something called "Event service", 
which defaults to "portal_events". For the name, I guess it needs CMF 
too, right? Can't be it used without it?

Ok, I found that "Event Service" is available as soon as you install the 
"Event" Product, so, I guess you don't need CMF after all. However, 
after adding an instance called "portal_events" on the Root, then adding 
a Scheduler, and finally scheduling a task two minutes on the future 
with an interval of 3600 seconds (1 minute) and giving it a max age of 
36000 seconds (10 minutes), it isn't triggered, the "Next Run Time" 
isn't updated, and there is no traceback on the zope log. Do I have to 
do/install something else?

Thanks,
