Hi Mark, If you're interested, I've started a wiki entry to help people who are writing Kafka clients:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Writing+a+Driver+for+Kafka I'm currently working on one for Python. There's nothing on ZooKeeper in there yet, but I'm implementing that functionality now and should be able to add that information to the wiki soon. Thank you.
