Totally agree with this list - including DIAGRAMS of how daemons work and inter-relate. There are a few diagrams in the current guide but they raise more questions than they answer. Similarly for section on event mapping / transforms - their is a diagram that says it explains the event life cycle but same comment - lots more pictures please. I would also like to see a section (maybe it is a manual in its own right?) on what is in the ZEO database, how to access objects, how to find what methods are available and lots of examples using zendmd.
