[OT] Plone

[Tim Hoffman]

I have been using Zope now since 2000. I would recommend it highly.
If you want stuff done for you out of the box definately go with Plone.

Really  I don't understand a lot of peoples complaints about Zopes 
complexity. It like all products has it warts, but its a hell
of lot easier to fit in your head than Apache/Tomcat plus all the
Java stuff ;-). And you can't have all the features of Zope without
complexity.

Just my 2c worth
