 This seems like a fine idea, but what action would the user take to 
 install examples and extras?
I think the best way would be using a python script/Makefile that
installs a .zexp file (or use http-upload with httplib). Configure
should grow a --install-tutorial option.

Mmmm... I need to clarify my question.  Let's say you make and install 
Zope.  You fire it up and don't know what to do next.  You look for some 
button or control in the UI for displaying documentation and examples. 
What do you find?  An entry in the add list?  Will you still find the 
help link, but clicking it only tells you how to install the 
documentation?  Zope needs to help the user find the docs.

Jamie Heilman came up with a reasonable way to do this.  The Zope Quick
Start page instructs the user to import the examples and gives him a
link which does so by calling manage_import.

I've merged this into the HEAD and the 2.6 branch.

In my initial implementation, there was a separate page that listed the 
names and descriptions of the various examples, with links to install 
them.  If I recall correctly, this page was reached from a link on 
Folder views, much like the current Help link.  Also linking from the 
Quick Start sounds like a fine idea.

Cheers,

Moreover, the examples installed everywhere attract spam to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
(forwarded to [EMAIL PROTECTED]). I have seen numerous 'increase website traffic'
spams explicitly mentioning /Examples URLs around the net.
