Understood, and I understand that this is a case of "cobbler's
children's shoes", but I do worry about the impression that it gives of
Plone: -

- Lots of what are essentially broken links in search results that point
to the Plone site.

- Plone knowledge scattered across the web in such a way that is hard
for an outsider to evaluate which is most valuable, and which
potentially misleading

- An uncomfortable message given that Plone is a system for managing
content, and we seem to have choked on the process of managing our /own/
content,


I know you know all this, that this is open source, and that I
can/should play a role in fixing it myself, but I just wanted to explain
what was behind the sad face.

I've written a bunch of how-to docs for my clients which are currently
private - perhaps I should start publishing them, but each was written
for a fairly narrow use-case, and I'm not sure my approaches would be
considered "best practice"...
