A hand maintained collection of links to web content that seem applicable.

The Greater New Hampshire Linux Users Group

Our parent organization, of which SLUG is a chapter.

Homepage: The portal to all things Linux in NH (or so we'd like it to be)
Chapters & SIGS: A list of all the chapters and special interest groups existing under the GNHLUG banner
Mailing Lists: To join our mailing lists. SLUG meetings are posted to the Announcements list.

Meetings: Our upcoming meetings
Directions to ...: Our meetings are generaly held in Morse Hall conference room 301.

www.plone.org homepage: It's the source of everything Plone.
Zope External Editor: Use this to setup a local editor hook for Zope/Plone. You'll need to install this Python script and then change your MIME types so that it gets called. If your environment "editor" variable is set it will be used, or you can edit the config file ".zope-external-edit" in your home directory. It even has hooks to load you favorite Graphics editor when the object your editing is an image.

Structured Text: The plone default.
reStructured Text: Seems like a good idea for Python programmers. Adds some features not in Structured but is more generic and less Web specific. No good way to get <H1> blocks which are necessary for the Slideshow.
HTML[1]: It's everyware. Everything can generate HTML. It can be used here too.
Plain Text[1]: Nothing fancy, just your text as you entered it. You can think of it like puting everything inside a <PRE> block.

Dive into Python: A quick way to learn Python. Works really well if you know other languages or have some Computer Science background.

The GNHLUG Python SIG: Python in our own backyard.
A Quick Python Reference: Need a good reference to lookup python specifics, try this one.
A Python Style Guide: I haven't used it enough to have a style, but some guidelines are always good.

Web Developer Extension: This is a GREAT tool for working on CSS. It plugs into Firefox/Mozilla and allows you to view and control the CSS, even to the point of live editing! Thanks Greg Rundlett for this information.
The Mouseover DOM Inspector: This Javascript hack puts up a floating box ontop of your webpage and shows you all kinds of usefull information about your documents structure and current markup. You need to link both this page for help AND the link off of it that you use to START it on your "current page". Once you bookmark the "special link" you simply goto your target webpage and then select the MODIv2 bookmark to bring up the MODI inspector on your current page.
