The project itself is interesting for ZDP members.
It has the Community "Members".
Inside the Member Portal there will be a Subject "Project", which automatically
searches for all Projects for Members.

A ZBook Chapter will have a Subject, Topic and Community too.
For example let there be a Chapter with the Subject DTML,
the Topic Security and the Community Developers.
This will for be found for example by a Topic inside the Developer
Portal on Security inside a Subject of DTML

Yes. All information that has settled and is sort of in a final
location should remain separate from the frequently changing
meta hierarchy. You can think of it as an external resource,
even if it is on the ZDP site itself. The only difference
between external resources and "external internal" information
is that "external internal" information is found automatically
by a Catalog search and external information is found by links.
