Well, I can only speak for myself, and maybe for a couple of other 
people, and for Captain Jhonson, but back when I was a newbie (last 
Friday) and I was looking for Zope information, I hit the 
Documentation link first, followed closely by Resources.

IMHO suggesting that the archive link is misplaced is silly. Consider 
the newbies posting questions to the list which they can find answers 
for easily by doing a search on zope.org. Would you say the Search 
field is too hard to find and needs to be moved? (Tim - don't be 
offended, this is not directed at you).
