ZopeSkel provides a collection of skeletons for quickstarting Zope and Plone projects.
All skeletons are available as PasteScript templates and can be used via the ''paster'' commandline tool. For example to create a package for a Plone 3 theme you can do:
paster create -t plone3_theme
this will ask a few questions such as desired package name and a description and output a complete package skeleton that you can immediately start using.
Please contribute by submitting patches for what you consider 'best of breed' file layouts for starting Zope projects.
