[Baypiggies] Nested plone sites?

[Donna Snow]

OH no.. no nesty Plone sites (thought there is a product called
SubPlone.. which works with pre-3.0 sites)..

Side by side Plone sites are fine (and which version are you working
with Ken? 3.0?)
You can add as many Plone sites as you want in a Zope instance (just
keep in mind performance will get worse and worse with each one you
add) But you add them on the same level.. not inside each other..

Acquisition becomes a major issue.. when you nest Plone sites

It makes more sense to create a separate site for the two and then
point to each site through DNS

Also.. btw.. take a look at grok.net (still being worked on put
looking pretty darned good!) for those who like Zope but don't love
Plone..

We may start implementing Grok sites in the future because we really
like the way it's developing.
