As I understood it, the term "resource" is rejected by most developers,
because the meaning is too general. But I guess "resource" vs.
"content item" will be a never-ending story unless we do a vote and
all developers commit to the decision.

IMO we need to distinguish between pieces of content to be managed by the CMS (Lenya) and other "stuff", for which Lenya may also potentially provide interfaces: what about the XSL stylesheets for example. They are not content and should not be seen by content maintainers. They are however resources of the CMS and, maybe, one day in the future, they will be editable within the CMS (administration area? a new "design area"? but that day, they still won't be content)

That's why I favor explicitly having the word "content" in whatever terminology we use to describe pieces of content. Thus my proposal a while back (http://wiki.apache.org/lenya/ProposalContentModel), where "ContentItem" is a piece of content (or ContentNugget, or whatever), and a Document is a collection of such pieces.

I am not trying to say "I am right, why doesn't everybody agree" ;)
But to be honest, I still haven't understood what is wrong with the proposal above.

8. "Resource" is better than "ContentItem" because it contains fewer words.
