Hello Liz and Jon:

Not too many major announcements this week in Zopeland. However, behind
the scenes work is underway on several major initiatives including
Property Sheets and Zope Classes. 

* Paul Everitt announced the availability of documentation about Zope's
next generation object database, ZODB3.

* Oleg Broytmann wrote an short introduction to Zope in Russian.

* Jim Fulton announced a tool to dump a Zope object database file to XML
by converting Python pickles to XML.

* Andy Smith released a Zope Poll Product which uses PIL (Python Imaging
Library).

Note: Last week I forgot to mention that Scott Robertson released a
patch to make it easier to run multiple instances of Zope from one
source directory.
