Re: Manual about the Zope Component Architecture

 From an integrators' point of view, I'd be really keen to have a 
"lay-person's summary" at the beginning (or end) of each component 
section, perhaps also pointing to a particular example within the Plone 
core and explaining what it does.  I'd be happy to try to contribute 
some of these.
