To answer the question at the end of your document: yes. Please
continue on, showing the next smallest possible next step that is
interesting. Hopefully this step can be done with making the viewer
confront interfaces, adapters, etc.
About the middle part, what's really needed to ensure newbies get a
positive, confidence-building first experience?
Scaffolding.
Your document shows the chants needed that most newcomers wouldn't
expect they should be aware of. Let's eliminate that, for that audience
(if we care about that audience, which might be a different discussion.)
One little Python script, maintained as part of the standard
distribution, referred to ubiquitously as the right way to start, would
have more impact on Zope adoption than nearly any other software
activity (save, perhaps, for zope.bobo). All IMO, of course.

Hi All,
I enjoyed the fasterbettercheaper lecture. And it got me thinking about
why I'm using Z3. Wanting to get that in words I took the hello world
acid test:

Fun: 1.0
Enjoy your weekend.

Hi everyone,
I usually do not send messages like that, but in light of the recent
discussions about vision, viewing this will give us all some perspective on
what people are looking for:

I think currently Zope 3 would end up a little bit better than J2EE, but not
much. I also think that the priorities the narrator sets are real ones
representing a lot of people. So let's discuss this movie a little bit and
see how we could do well in his evaluation.
Regards,
Stephan
