Agreed

Well, I'm not sure we need to separate them.  But we must be consistent:  
either the structure of /wifidog/templates mirrors /wifidog for every 
directory containing public scripts, or it does not.

It's for scripts that display or manipulate a content type but not from the 
portal or admin interface.  In the case of PatternLanguage, it's to display 
the narratives created by the visiting users.

the image directory will mostly be emptied once I finish completely 
refactoring stylesheet handling.  Don't worry about it for now.

Actually, that's exactly what  /content/HTMLeditor was meant for, publically 
adressable scripts and documents directly used or related to a single Content 
type.  /include is for php includes that are not classes.

Not yet, but they will be once local content handling is completely 
refactored.

No, but they need to be writeable by the webserver, which would be kind of 
unusual outside the document root.
