This was poorely presented as it referred to an alternative document storage 
backend as presented in helge's online notes here:
http://docs.opengroupware.org/Members/helge/DocumentAPI/DocStorage/

While the direct technical solutions are varied and most interesting one 
aspect of any "solution" when it comes to software is how it is delivered to 
the end user. This is sometime referred to "commercially" as packaging.

So the concern that I was pointing out is that regardless of what is added, 
consideration should be given at the design stage preferably how that new 
component will be bundled and installed with the new revised software 
offering to ensure easy installation, configuration etc. 

While zope integration is fascinating I can see many issue with delivery, 
installation and configuration of the software product referred to as 
opengroupware.org ver 2.0 for example. Collectively this is sometimes 
referred too as "packaging" in some circles. No in all however.  

Hope thats better..:)
