If nobody has objections, I would propose that we add DocFinderEverywhere  
to the full 2.1 package. I will help out Stefan with some HTML/CSS, and  
he's going to rename it to DocFinderTab (which is what it is).

If you haven't tried it, you should:

http://www.zope.org/Members/shh/DocFinderEverywhere

It gives you a Doc tab on any object in the ZMI which lists the available  
methods with docstrings, and is extremely convenient for people like me,  
who occasionally need to know what a method name is called inside a  
certain tool or content type.

I believe this carries very little risk and maintenance burden, as it's a  
pure Zope product, and only has potential problems if the underlying Zope  
code changes - which we have to deal with anyway.

In addition, Stefan is a dedicated maintainer, so the product won't  
suddenly disappear either. Maybe we even get improved docstrings  
eventually by including it (our current ones suck :).
