Thanks Jeff for making this clear and taking the time to review it.

I agree with the points raised in the your email regarding restructuring
the content as above especially Site Structure and Content Publication.
This is the part that my users have problems with when dealing with
Plone, especially those who have some experience with other CMS systems.

Some creative users get it, but most users I have seem to have problems
putting it all together. So one or two illustrated generic scenarios
that bring it all together I think are going to help. 

I'll be working on documentation over the next two weeks, so I hope to
have some drafts to share for collaboration scenarios that could be
added.
