Plone Developer Cheatsheet
Needs some kind of organisation.
My thinking is that each item has a technology name, a reason (e.g. develop new content type), and a tutorial link.
Not sure if it should be grouped by reason or name. but it would be good to be sorted in the order it should be learned.
I'd also love this list to be "the one true way". ie. instead of everyway of doing things we don't include the ways that aren't recommended. Hard and harsh but I think that is how plone can be made easier to learn.
