Go to the page:

http://zdp.zope.org/members/maik/links

Example:

Meta: WebSiteLink 
Id: 957888197 
Name: I18N product 
Nickname: I18N product 
Community: I18N SIG 
Subject: Links 
Topic: Link 
This is a quick start at "themable"
or "skin-based"
internationalization. 

This will show up in the Portal for I18N.

Yes. This way we don't need to worry about Containment, and can concentrate
on the meta hierarchy. I am still not sure if we should go this way for
everything, but for the Links this has already proven to be a great thing,
because I once had a Subject Internationalisation for Developers, which
I deleted because we now have a SIG on I18N. I only had to change the link
in my member folder to a new Community. This is also one of the weak points,
because there may be links that are no more looked up in a Portal, because
the meta information is outdated.

I wonder how the PTK handles this.
