Actually, there SmartWizard (of course built with OF), whcih can be used 
for Slideshows. I used it for all my talks last year.

Really? You should just have used OrderedObjectManager as base class.

Ordering and the Limit code is already in the Zope 3 core. The advanced 
Folder version there is know as LoadedFolder.
