Well indeed, the developers are a bunch of smart cookies (no pun 
intended). But I still await a comprehensible description of how the 
whole system works for 2.7, let alone X3 - how to put sites together, 
and the best way to achieve various results, and so on.

Searching for information about Zope is a nightmare of broken links and 
outdated content that makes it difficult to find one's way through to 
the really useful stuff.
