As the community grows, this is an increasingly poor assumption.
Different developers come to Zope with different background experience
and from environments that have their own coding styles.

I don't think that's what this is.  This is a document describing how
things /are/ done in the Zope 3 repository.  That's helpful both as it
stands and as a foundation for a document on how things should be
going forward.

This has nothing to do about what's the "right" way; it's about what's
the agreed-upon way.  Very different.  Everybody already knows the
right way, they just can't agree on it.  :-)
