Hi Kees,
in general the development for Zope 2 (latest version) and Zope 4 / 5 is not
that much different. You have to read through the update notes. e.g. Chameleon
is the new default template engine, some globals are no longer available, moved
imports and so on.
As you correctly noted, the documentation is not completely up to date. There
is just a lack of man power.
I suggest you try to follow the migration documentation (
https://zope.readthedocs.io/en/latest/migrations/zope4/index.html ).
If you encounter any problems, and you are able to solve them - report them
back or update the documentation
If you cannot solve the problems yourself, don't hesitate to ask.
I recommend the https://community.plone.org/ forum - but try to ask some
specialized questions - there is no "Zope 5 developer documentation" out there
and just hidden from you.
You can also have a look at migrated products / packages.
If your application is a commercial one, you could hire someone to do the
migration for you.
If the Python 3 thing is your problem, there is plenty of documentation out
there, also from the Plone community:
https://docs.plone.org/manage/upgrading/version_specific_migration/upgrade_to_python3.html
By the way - these mailing lists are usually not used for those kind of
questions, but almost only for announcements of new releases.
Best,
Jürgen

Betreff: [Zope] Developing 'products' for zope 4 and 5
Hi,
I am trying to catch up with the innovation that zope has undergone (I still
have an instance running under zope 2.10.9).
Is there any more extensive documentation on how to develop ‘products’ for zope
4 and 5. In the Zope Developer’s Guide the chapter on Zope products simply
starts with the remark that the document is currently being reviewed.
best, cb
