A lack of a suitable record-keeping Web content management system has
led one Queensland local government council to develop its own
application which has since been released as an open source project.

which amoung other things says Plone is bad for integration since it
uses MySQL. I certainly have work to do in promoting Plone in Australia.

Web portal framework; CIFS (file share) interface that works on Windows
and Linux clients; and a Web-content management system -- plus document,
imagine, and records management. Further, Alfresco scales well with
options for deploying content to multiple servers.
The Bottom Line: Plone 3.0

Bottom Line:The Plone CMS, which is built on top of the Zope application
server, performs well for intranets - as well as a document management
server and team collaboration tool. The system is easy to use and also
notable for its multi-lingual capabilities. Additionally, Plone powers a
number of high-traffic Internet sites, though this configuration should
included additional components, such as Squid caching.
