I dont see anything the motivation for this, but the order seems nice, 
so I will do it.

I dont think this will be useful. Now that we have page templates, all 
the logic will be in python scripts, and as the python scripts will not 
be visible from the public side ( they are inside portal_skins ) we will 
not be able to show a link to the user see them.

Any help is appreciated!

Thats the goal. A Resource can be a Product, Howto or Tip.

That may require some effort yes. It will be a task for the zope.org 
webmaster to keep it running smoothly.
