Thanks.  :)

Well, yes.  Mostly.  :-)  If I can have the forms/widgets stuff
documented to the same level as the rest in demo.txt, I'll probably be
able get myself up to speed far more rapidly.

Speaking as an outsider I do think, though - and this is not really a
criticism - that even the existing documentation like demo.txt is
written very much from the point of view of someone who's close enough
to the project for everything just to "make sense" and "be obvious" to
him.  I say it's not a criticism, since I realise it's early days, it's
an in-house project, it's not a priority, etc. etc.  You'll hopefully
find that should Quixote gain a user community, some of the camp
followers will start generating newbie guides.  (Then again, I've used
Zope for about 2 years now, and only recently have I been able to
describe the documentation as "barely adequate".  :-)

Anyhoo, the part of my brain that instinctively latched onto Python is
finding more and more things in Quixote to latch onto.  So I'm being
sucked in.  Argh.
