Fine. In that case let's go for the solution which
Andy describes here.

Please post a description of the steps it takes to
move data into the Zope database either on the wiki
or here.

And to all track champions: after you have moved the
data, please update the wiki pages accordingly (i.e.
add the direct reference to the talk database to the
wiki page).

Thanks,
