I like your (lengthy) comment at the beginning of the discussion. Too 
bad a lot of stuff like this is produced and gradually falls into oblivion.

By now it is clear that using 0MQ requires a mental paradigm shift (the 
"a-ha" moment) and -- unfortunately -- we are doing were little to 
alleviate it for the users. That's the reason IMO why "0MQ is 
interesting but lacks documentation" complaint is often heard -- even 
though there's detailed reference (man pages) available.

Maybe it should be worth starting collecting the texts that people 
believe are enlightening (for example, I really liked Brian Granger's 
comment about "you need bunch of 0MQ sockets to replace your TCP 
connection" yesterday. The goal being transforming them to a book 
(booklet) that would explain the basic concepts to newbies and lead them 
throught the paradigm shift.
