Plone NGO Mailing List upgrade to 2.5

[Nynke Kruiderink]

Hello Everyone,

I just thought I'd like to let you know, we (IICD.org) are going to upgrade to Plone 2.5 hopefully in december. We are looking forward to using smart folders and the add-on products:

- CoreBlog2
- CMFContentPanels
- LinguaPlone

We've decided against the wiki functionality because it just can't beat the functionalities mediawiki has to offer, in my opinion, but maybe future releases will.

If you have any thoughts or experiences on the functionalities or add-on products, I am definetly all ears. Have any of you been using these in a particularly succesfull way? Or can prepare us for some kinks or bugs which we'll need to work through?

Thank you!
Nynke

get a nice clean setup path automated from zope2.7/plone2.0 to
zope2.9/plone2.5 with an intermediary step (for the zope catalog update,
iirc) by using two instancemanager configurations. iicd.org looks like a
2.0 site, that's why. Give him a call/email if interested.

Sounds OK. Alternative: quills. Quills seems to be in use more, but
that's just from hearing people using it (and not hearing from anyone
that uses coreblog). coreblog looks to be well-maintained and pretty
stable, though.

I'm not sure how it compares, but there's a brand new release (1.1?) of
compositepack that's got a lot of goodies (like partially ajaxy
drag/drop of panels). Just pointing you at it in case you looked at an
older version.

> - LinguaPlone

Look at the pdf presentation from the last plone conference. I got some
info from that that's not really on paper anywhere else. Like that it's
better to do it on a directory basis than on a single page by single
page bases. Or whatever. The product is a bit underdocumented strategy-wise.

As I assume that you read Dutch: http://tinyurl.com/y3fu78

Some ideas from Leiden University on translating websites.

Do you mean this? Not quite a full release as yet.

http://plone.org/products/compositepack/releases/1.1b1

Pagebuilder is also very good.
