If the idea is to deliver the message that Zope 3 is great, clutting
the message with Zope 2 cruft (not the same as if we have some really
great zope 2 documentation, but what's there has rotted quite a bit)
is not likely to help. Maybe we can (and should) get there too, but
let's not bite off more than we can chew the first iteration. The
*worst* thing we can do is launch a new site that has all the old
sites' problems. :)
As attractive the idea may be of everyone switching to Zope 3 right
away -- it is essential that the thousands of Zope 2.x server out their
still receive some kind of documentation support.
So while it may be true that the documentation is out of date -- this
should then be a priority to do a "final" update of the 2.x docs and
then focus on all things Zope 3.
Legacy Zope apps are going to be around for the next 3 to 10 years.
I've tried to write the 'brochure' content of the new zope.org to
include both Zope 2 and Zope 3 in a coherent story. I think this can be
done - review the text already there. My idea is to deliver the message
that Zope is great. It comes in two flavors and they're both great.
Besides brochure-style information, I'm less confident about presenting
up to date documentation on Zope 2, however. If we get people to edit
the Zope 2 documentation for inclusion, then I'm all for it. I have my
doubts that we'll get enough community interest in doing so however, but
I'd love to be wrong about that.
The resulting website will depend on whether we get people do the
editing necessary.
