Annotatable Metadata
Annotatable Metadata allows you to maintain a separate schema for your metadata and provides a metadata edit form which uses this schema to set attributes on your objects using zope3 annotations.
ATCT Small Sample
Sample code example with enhanced explanations and tests for ATContentType based Product. This is code sample, *NOT* Plone core component.
ATCustomTypes
ATCustomTypes serves one single purpose: making it as easy as possible to customize Plone's default content types from ATContentTypes. ATCustomTypes is not a Plone product in the usual sense as it does not provide any obvious new features. What's more: if you don't plan to change its code base you won't need it.
b-org
b-org, "base-organisation", is a set of content types for handling a common organisation structures, with departments and employees as groups and users, and projects as collaborative workspaces. It is also the basis for a tutorial and is meant to be extended with lightweight plug-ins for use-case specific metadata and behaviour.
Bob
Bob adds a 'permalink' icon to the document actions of any Plone 2.1.x content type (if based on Archetypes). The icon/link is handy for copying the permanent link in order to paste it in another document, in Plone or anywhere else.

HumaineMailman
This product has been created in order to allow Plone portal users to subscribe or unsubscribe to Mailman mailing lists, to embed Mailman mailing lists into a Plone portal. The portal manager can set up open or role-based mailing lists as well as "auto lists", i.e. mailing lists that get populated using a Python script. In order to allow easy integration into the Plone portal, there exists an auto list "sandbox" which allows to preview the effects of the script code before actually using it. Portal users get an additional preferences panel that allows to subscribe to all lists the user may access. The user data can be synced using a shell script (that should be called regularly by a cron job).
HumaineToolbox
This product product allows to create a collection of categorised, typed objects, the so-called "Toolbox". A toolbox consists of a toolbox folder that stores a certain amount of toolbox objects and makes them accessible to Plone portal users. We have used HumaineToolbox to setup a collection of emotion-oriented resources at the HUMAINE portal, including emotion databases or applications as well as emotion architectures. PLEASE NOTE: this code may serve as a code example and might not be actually useful for non-developers.
Luminance Skin
LumianceSkin is the successor of MagicSkin published earlier this year. While MagicSkin is based on image-rounding, LuminanceSkin provides dynamic rounding using CSS and Javascript. In contrast to MagicSkin that only rounds elements visible to anonymous users, the goal for LuminanceSkin were rounded views for both anonymous and authenticated users.
MagicSkin (rounded corners skin)
MagicSkin adds a new visual style to Plone 2.1. Whereas many other skins just change a couple of colors or reposition some elements, MagicSkin does a lot more. It introduces a rounding technique based on image-rounding into plone but still keeps the flexible positioning (within limits) instead of making a static-width skin. Furthermore, the skin is customizable by less experienced users in a very simple way.
MlangoViewlets
Product containing additional example viewlets for the Mlango dashboard.
MySite
MySite provides an introduction to product development for Plone for site managers that feel the need to turn into file-system based product development but have no clue where to start. It is assumed, however, that you know what the Zope Management Interface (ZMI) is and how to access it as well as how to install products for Zope/Plone in general. Some basic Python knowledge is definitively a plus but the tutorial should be helpful even without that.
MySkin
