+Development release and feedback

+This release *is not intended to be used in production environments*.

+
+What is Zope 3?
+---------------
+
+Zope 3 is a web application server that continues to build on the heritage of
+Zope.  It was rewritten from scratch based on the latest software design
+patterns and the experiences of Zope 2.
+
+The component architecture is the very core of Zope 3 that allows developers to
+create flexible and powerful web applications.
+
+
+Compatibility with Zope 2
+--------------------------
+
+We continue to work on the transition from Zope 2 to Zope 3 by making Zope 2
+use more and more of the Zope 3 packages. But we're not there yet. **You can't
+run Zope 2 applications in Zope 3.**
+
+
+New features and important changes
+----------------------------------

+There were many more features, restructurings and bugs fixed. Please consult
+the file `doc/CHANGES.txt` in the release for more information.
