Hi folks,

We've recently had some discussions about what Plone's "API" looks like. The challenge, of course, is that so many things are customisable, so "the API" is really a very loose term, when you can call just about anything.

That said, I think there are about 50-100 interfaces/tools/functions that cover 80% of what most of us do day-to-day. If we can capture those, we can do some useful things like:

- identify which APIs suck
- identify which APIs we're missing (i.e. we end up having to poke at internals when we should have some clearly defined interface)
- identify where we have duplication and can consolidate APIs
- document!

Is this a good place to discuss documenting the zope.publisher request/ response API?

FWIW, there has beens some recent talk about changing the implementation using WebOb as a model:
