Well, my idea was to have these kinds of resources grouped according to their 
types (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2017-12/msg00356.html). 
So, instead of a Community resources entry in the Media menu, there would be 
separate entries like Talks, Papers, etc.

So the Media part of the website could work like the Blog in that you could 
explore all kinds of media (/lang/media/) or media of some type (e.g. 
/lang/media/talks/).

Also, at this point you can see that blog posts and media items are resources 
that usually have a preview with similar information: title, date, summary, 
etc. Using record types you end up defining one preview procedure for every 
record type (type->shtml) with pretty much the same body. At that time I was 
looking for records that allow some kind of inheritance, or GOOPS, to have one 
preview procedure (or method) that would accept different records/objects with 
a common ancestor specifying the common fields (title, date, summary, etc.). I 
tried GOOPS at that time and it worked.

I don't know, I'm still inclined to do it this way...
