*phew*  I think I know how Jeff feels.  :-)  Right now I feel every bit
as intimidated - and only slightly more confused - as when I first tried
to build a real application using Zope.  You'd think that Quixote -
being comprised of only a fininte number of lines of code - would be
simpler to get your head around.  ;->

I can't speak for Jeff, but what would help me a great deal at this
point would be a very simple example of form/widget usage - something
along the lines of the included demo.  I feel like a totally ignorant
newbie asking for something like that, but there you have it...

Maybe the greatest shortcoming at this point is documentation.  I
realise it's still very early days indeed, and Quixote is more of an
in-house project being used by the people who develop it, but...
eventually one would hope for wider adoption, and you'd need to reach
out to the newbies and the plain clueless.  Like moi.  %-)

If I manage to get Quixote to do what I want and if I continue to use
it, I might even try my hand at writing some sort of primer.  But first
I have to wrap my head around some of the concepts.

Oh well, back to reading the source...
