In Lenya 1.2, "content" was the name of the directory containing the
documents, but the same argument that "resources" was only a directory
name and never seen by editors applies.

/pub/resources/document
/pub/resources/asset
The superclass is "Resource".

/pub/content/document
/pub/content/asset
The superclass is "Content Item"

As much as I dislike using two words where one is sufficient, I agree
a CMS should use the word "content" somewhere.  Although our marketing
could use "Lenya is more than a Content Management System; it is also
a Resource Management System." That means nothing but could influence
business managers.

Andreas prefers "Content Item".  Bob dislikes "Resource".  I will
accept either.  Anybody else have a preference?
