Introduction

  The source release is intended for tinkerers, those who want to use
  Zope components separately, people who want to use their own Python,
  and people who work on platforms that are not supported by
  a binary distribution.

  If you just want to use Zope easily and you aren't a programmer, the
  binary release will probably suit you better.  All are available at
  http://www.zope.org/Download.
