ZDG is really it.  It could use some cleanup to fold in the
comments and errata that are posted to the online version.
For now, just read the ZDG and heed the comments.

I personally do not use mxmEasyProduct. I did at one point, but I found
that while it's a timesaver for trivial things, I ended up having to
understand plain old Product development anyway, anytime I wanted to do
something different, plus I had to figure out how mxmMinimal worked.
That's typical of frameworks that hide details from you...
great until you want the details back ;-)

Rather, I would look at the venerable old Boring and Minimal 
example products.  (But be aware that Boring (last time I looked)
used the "old-style" security declarations.  Instead
of an __ac_permissions__ attribute, you should use
ClassSecurityInfo as shown in, well, just about any Product
you have lying around.)

I know, this all screams for an organized, updated effort :-(

Yes. In Zope X3.0 you can only develop filesystem-based Python packages, so in 
fact this is all the book covers. Section C has a fairly complex example of a 
message board application, complete with simple and containerish content 
objects. Other sections of the book cover the development of different 
components using filesystem-based development.

Stephan

a timely fashion. If noone response to your question there, it is usually 
because it is a harder problem. ;-)
I found out that you wrote a book about Zope 3 that gather raving

I've written about 50 pages of rather detailed documentation for Zope 
Page Templates and it is available online at www.root.cz. But not in 
English. So I know, understand and follow the concept you mentioned.

I do not feel I can contribute to ZDG at this time. Is there any other 
resource you can recommend, please?

Hello Andreas,
This kind of response is so common that it deserves a shortcut of its
own. Such as RTFM. You essentially told me to f*k off. But I did not
attack ZDG.
I never said that - neither directly nor between the lines.
ZDG has some outdated parts. You admit that.
I haven't had the ZDG in my hands lately. But from that what  I have in 
memory
most things are still true because the basic haven't changed. If yes, point
them out instead of make such comments.

By following it, I will
create incorrect code or use obsolete constructs. At least that is what
reader comments say in ZDG. Well, I do not want to create obsolete
constructs.
It is your good right to expect documentation but documentation has to be 
written
and maintained. Means: someone has to volunteer and take over *some* 
responsibilities.
Complaining about missing, out-dated docs or whatever is one side of the 
medal, helping
to improve thing is the other side *wink*

And don't be pissed off when I try to point out that "the community" also 
has to take over
some tasks instead of only having expectations.
