As time goes by, I'm less and less intimidated by Zope 3. I've always been excited for Zope 3, but I was also afraid about the amount of relearning I'd have to do. What's lessening this fear is that recent development work that I've been doing, based on Zope 2, has been following more and more of a "Zope Component Architecture" approach. The patterns, some of which I started using a few years ago on the CMF team at Zope Corporation, are becoming more and more familiar. I'm getting quite excited to see the new levels of development that Zope 3 will bring.
