Hello,

I've been assigned to present Zope in a local upcoming Python user group meeting. As part of the assignment, I'm supposed to solve the PyWebOff challenge using Zope:

http://pyre.third-bit.com/pyweb/challenge.html

I'd like to do this using Zope 3. However, I'm really struggling. I feel like I must be using Zope 3 in a really dumb way, because the code so far is highly repetitive, completely dependent on Zope, and more XML than Python. This is not going to go over well in the presentation.

Can anyone tell me how to do this better with Zope 3? Maybe my Zope 2 experience is preventing me from seeing something obvious. I've attached the __init__.py and configure.zcml that I created in a package called "challenge".
