Hey Bakhtiar, long time no see. :)

I don't think the buddydemo will work with Five -- Zope 3 code isn't 
straightforwardly usable with Five in Zope 2, for a number of reasons. 
We're getting closer step by step, though.

Right now Five enables you to use adapters and views (with ZCML) for 
Zope 2 objects. Content objects still need to be created in Zope 2, 
though they can stay a lot more simple. What Five enables is quite a 
lot, but Zope 3 enables quite a lot more still.
