hey guys, so not to beat up on Donna too much, but I seem to recall this
being a running theme in my interaction with Donna, where I'll be in
communication with her about something and for one reason or another, I do
not receive a follow-up.  I recall getting a similar response when I was in
touch with her about the Linux Picnic, and about when the next Plone Lounge
event was.  Now this may have something to do with Donna being a mother of
6, and running her own business, but bottom line is people are lead to
expect a reliable response which never comes.  I've made this an issue
before on the Plone Lounge mailing list, and it seems like it's happening
again here on the BayPIGgies mailing list.  For what it's worth I've
enclosed mail I've sent where I did exactly as Tony suggested, I volunteered
several months ago, and either Donna's response to me never arrived through
no fault of her own, or someone dropped the ball:

    Last night I went to webfaction.com and (formerly python-hosting.com)
    and upgraded our Plone site to:

    Plone 2.5.1,
    CMF-1.6.2,
    Zope (Zope 2.9.5-final, python 2.4.0, linux2),
    Five 1.3.7,
    Python 2.4 (#1, Jul 24 2005, 05:05:49) [GCC 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat
    Linux 3.2.3-52)],
    PIL 1.1.5

    It is now located at
    http://www.baypiggies.net/new/plone

    I will move Tony's book reviews to the new location...

    Here are the areas we should add...

    Meetings (of course)
    Jobs (we can have one member manage the job section.. or leave it open
    for site members to add their job through the system.. )
    Upcoming Conferences/Events
    Classes & Training

    We can also add blogs for those who want to report on their
    experiences at various Python related events.

    I could use another Plone type admin to work with me on getting this
    site done.. AND answer any questions from users. I have six kids and a
    full-time growing business... and I'm more than willing to give what I
    can..when I can.. but another Plonista or two would help get this
    Plone site live.. and once we do that.. many more people will have the
    ability to update the site.



hi Donna, six kids, my goodness.  I'd like to throw in some free labor your
way in exchange for a little more experience with Plone.  I wouldn't call
myself a Plonista, but I've been on the IRC channel, attended your
BayPIGgies talk, and installed Plone on Windows and Linux.

Best,

Thuon

    Hi Thuon,

    You are more than welcome to help out. Let's figure out where you'd
    like to start. Maybe you can help move content from baypiggies.net to
    baypiggies.net/new/plone ?

    That is my biggest hold up..

    Donna


hey Donna, what you're asking for doesn't sound too difficult.  If I'm not
mistaken, first I would identify the Document Root for baypiggies.net, and
baypiggies.net/new/plone, and then just move the entire folder tree from the
former to the latter.  Am I missing something ?

All I know about Plone, I learned in Donna's presentation.  I do not think
that qualifies me as a "Plonista".

I read here that Donna is asking for qualified help to get this website
moving forward.  How 'bout it folks?  Do we have anyone qualified in
setting up a Plone site who can help move this forward???

Regards, Dennis

I can do it, but I fear I'm overextended too, although I'm only
working on kid 4 ;)

Happy Hacking!
