Yeah, it's a grab bag item, I already mentioned that previously, but I 
still think Grok should be in the same category with BlueBream.

We can look up my previous post to see what I suggested about the 
framework category there; I did offer some suggestions there.

I'd just call the category "web framework"; 2 out of 3 already say they 
are. Zope can then itself say in its description that it's an 
application server if that's an important term. It's still a compromise 
but I think it's better to compromise towards "web framework" which is 
the more recognizable term.
