Re: Expanding on Plone User Manual with additional use cases

actually the way Drupal defines it, those would be more like howtos.

"Site Recipes: This section houses various recipes for building  
different types of Drupal sites. A recipe is a set of instructions  
that show how to prepare or make something. This section should not be  
used for HowTo guides that demonstrate a singular functionality, but  
rather an overarching objective for your site(s)"

So for us that would be more like a description buildout, and which  
combination plugins and how we integrated them. Perpahs a  
documentation alternative to buildoutbuilder.
