Hey,

As Philipp wrote already, most of what is needed should be part of Zope 
3. You might trip over things like new-style objects (Zope 3 might want 
to store a new style object), however.

In any case, whether it is easy to make work or not, we'd appreciate 
very much a report if you get them working in Five, and even more a 
little writeup about how you did it. This way we can include a little 
recipe in the Five documentation, add some automatic tests perhaps, and 
include any code changes needed to Five in a future distribution.

Regards,

Martijn
