+Welcome to Zope beta 2 source release
+-------------------------------------
+
+  This document provides some general information about the Zope
+  source release and provides links to other documents.
+
+  Installation information can be found in doc/INSTALL.txt.
+
+  Zope information is available at http://www.zope.org/
+
+  Report problems with this release on the Zope mailing list
+  (zope@zope.org) To subscribe to the list send mail to
+  zope-request@zope.org with "subscribe" in the subject line.
+
+Introduction:
+
+  The source release is intended for tinkerers, those who want
+  to use Zope components separately, Bobo hackers, people who
+  want to use  their own Python, and people who work on obscure
+  platforms because they love to compile everything from source.
+
+  If you just want to use Zope easily and aren't a programmer
+  the binary release will probably suit you better.
+
+License
+
+  A preliminary version of the Zope License is included in LICENSE.txt
+  We are still working on finalizing the license. Send your feeback about
+  the license to zope-license@zope.org. 
+
+Installing Zope:
+
+  Follow the instructions in doc/INSTALL.txt to install Zope. You
+  may wish to run the installer even if you only plan on using
+  selected Zope components since the install script compiles
+  Python extensions for you that you may want, like cDocumentTemplate.
+
+Using Zope Components Separately
+
+  Zope consists of many Python packages which can be profitably
+  used by themselves. For example you will find all your old friends
+  from Bobo here:
+
+    * ZPublisher - A packagized version of the Bobo ORB you know and
+      love. It's been updated with new thinks like support for
+      __bobo_debug_mode__ More info to come soon.
+
+    * DocumentTemplate - This package includes cDocumentTemplate which
+      speeds things up considerably.
+
+    * BoboPOS - This is NOT BoboPOS3. It a version of BoboPOS2 which
+      include c code to make things faster.
+
+  You can find most of these packages in the lib/python directory. If
+  you poke around, you might find other goodies too, like StructuredText.
+
+  We plan on making separate releases of these packages soon.
+
+Notes
+
+  * Zope requires Python 1.5.1
+  * Lots more documentation is coming.
+  * Don't forget to check the Zope web site and mailing list.
+  * Read the source, have fun!
