At least the FAQ can be see on one page right now.

http://zdp.zope.org/projects/zfaq/faq/List_Flat

I have no time to make the other stuff available in the same form,
but maybe someone else can jump in and help ?

I have made the tips available in one file on zope.org:

http://www.zope.org/Members/roeder/tips_in_html
http://www.zope.org/Members/roeder/tips_in_xml

You can do the same for How-Tos on Zope.org as well,
if you adapt this code for the Tips, assuming
you are a Zope.org member:

tips_in_html DTML method on zope.org

<HTML>
<BODY>
<dtml-with "PARENTS[-1].SiteIndex">
 <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('meta_type', 'Tip')">
 <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('sort_on', 'date')">
 <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('sort_order', 'reverse')">
  <!--#with "_(results = searchResults(REQUEST=REQUEST))"-->

<HR>
<UL>
<dtml-in results>
<dtml-with "getobject(data_record_id_)">
<LI><A HREF="#<dtml-var url>"><dtml-var title_or_id></A>
</dtml-with>
</dtml-in>
</UL>

<dtml-in results>

<dtml-with "getobject(data_record_id_)">
<A NAME="<dtml-var url>">
<HR>
<B><dtml-var title html_quote></B>
</dtml-with>
<P>

</dtml-with>
</dtml-in>
</dtml-with>
</dtml-with>
</BODY>
</HTML>

I definitely have to work on this stuff, but I also would
like to hear how you would like the search to be.
