I've created a SourceForge project for ZODB development:
     http://sourceforge.net/projects/zodb/

A page of development-related links that will be updated as needed is at:
     http://www.amk.ca/zodb/devel.html

The goal of this project isn't to create a fork of the ZODB code, or
to make many modifications to the core ZODB packages.  Instead it will
focus on the surrounding tools, packaging and documentation, aiming to
make the ZODB more useful for people who want to use it as an object
oriented database for Python.  For example, we're using it to store

(Developers who want to hack on the core ZODB packages must make such
sensitive changes on a CVS branch; the trunk will track DC's version
of the ZODB code.)
