Well... it could reside in a '/var/www' location... could it not?
Such a location would make it easy for users to share the content from
one server to
multiple computers, and is standard across distributions.
It's also, somewhat, less of a security risk, if my assumptions are
correct.

I suspect that'll be helpful... especially for the 'John Q Public' (aka,
'Idiot Users') types.
Though a symlink to 'content' in each user's "/home" would, perhaps, be
better?
Just food for thought.
