Is it possible to stop the deluge of mails Plone generates for every
minor change? It's annoying at the moment, but I can see it becoming
unbearable once processing really ramps up...

Hi!
Site is up again.
During the last days I tried to figure out what Plone offers to create
rich pages. I tried out two products which seem to be very useful.
I just installed these two products giving additional layout options.
You can use these products by choosing new options from the "Add
new..." menu:
* Article
An article is a page of text content which can be enriched with
images, links and attached files. There are a couple of templates to
choose from controlling how the images / links / attachments are
arranged relative to the text.
This is a somewhat limited approach but for simple documents it
probably is a good choice. There is also the option to add new
templates.
There is also a multiple article option but this seems not very
useful to me.
Homepage is http://plone.org/products/plonearticle
* Collage
A collage is not content itself but a container for content. A
collage gives you rows containing columns containing any type of
content.
This is a very powerful and flexible way to layout a content page
giving you standard table oriented layout options. Of course it
needs certainly more work and more concept than articles.
Homepage is http://plone.org/products/collage
There are more similar products but they seem to be outdated or
similar in function. These two products seem to be supported well,
however. I think they are a good choice for creating interesting
layouts. Article for simple things and Collage when you need full
control.
Here you find two examples:

Now if you have some artistic talents you should be able to create
something fancy.
