[Zope] Auto Cataloging my ZCatalog

I am a big fan of PropertyTools and Abracadabra, to be found on

http://iungo.org/products

PropertyTool allows you to define Objects (e.g. Text documents) that are
catalog-aware, e.g. index themselfes, without doing any coding.

Your users would then copy such template objects into the folders where
the content is to be stored. Abracadabra helps a lot with this 'copy and
paste' machinery.

Cheers,
