I'm all for it. A good place to start would be the wiki. We can create a section within the wiki for this, and allow for some organization around different categories. This would require a small team of dedicated contributors who would post links (and/or manage a queue of submitted links) after vetting them. Ideally, someone or some team would also note the really good examples, and try to either get permission to include the content in the "Learning Zend Framework" part of the manual, or create new content that incorporates the best parts of one or several posts into the manual.
