Re: Expanding on Plone User Manual with additional use cases

Here's drupals site recipes.
http://drupal.org/handbook/site-recipes
Note all drupal's documentation is wiki now and I think site-recipes  
and howtos really do (as Joanna sugests) have to be in hte community  
section as these are the kind of thing that will get updated  
regularly. And may have different ways of achieving the same result  
which people should feel free to include as an alternative on the same  
page.

     I was talking to a guy in the drupal community the other day and
     they've recently restructered their docs. One thing they use a

     is "Site recipes". Howtos on how people solved particular  
problems on
     particular sites. Given that such uses cases as described below  
could
     be many and varied, perhaps its a better idea for them to go into  
the
     upcomming wiki documentation area rather than manuals? Perhaps the
     concept of Site Recipe could fit well with us too, including  
buildout
     examples, permissions structure, and which 3rd party products  
were used.
