The document summarizes the past, present, and future of the Zope project. It discusses how Zope was initially successful competing with other web frameworks but then lost popularity with the rise of Ruby on Rails and other Python frameworks. This led to an identity crisis within the Zope community. The vision going forward is to phase out the term "Zope 3", support Zope 2 as the application server, and promote GROK and Zope components as lower barrier ways to build with Zope.
