<br></blockquote></div></div>Good points Terry. Thanks for the feedback.<br><br>My intentions for the "reviews" section new website is to have the reviews section - somewhat self maintaining. It would be great if users could post their own reviews. Ideally, I'd like to have a page there where people who want to sign up for reviews and wait for a Title to be published, as well as have a list of new titles waiting for reviewers. In reality, perhaps people should tell me what they would like to see in the reviews area.</blockquote>

<br>I really dont want to post messages to the list to say "a review has been posted", and I'm almost sure the list subscribers dont want this extra traffic. I feel hesitant on posting messages asking for reviewers, but since we get some perks from O'Reilly and other publishers it's been tolerated. <br>
<br>The Plone site has been a source of problems, we have noone to fix/maintain it. It doesn't seem that this is likely to change, even though we have asked for Plone-knowledgable people to chip in a few hours of time. I'm all for going back to the old site. </blockquote>
<div> </div><div>We should sit down and I can show you what I've figured out.<br>I've been learning a number of CMS's and while I can't say plone is the most straightforward of all the ones I've used, it is conceptually similar.<br>
Basically with all CMS's articles can be in many states private, published,etc.<br>If we can get some of Donna's time, as offered, for a bit of a brain dump from her to me, and potentially upgrade to latest plone, we can take care of the issues.<br>
Barring that, if we're not stuck on using python, I'm learing Joomla at the moment, which seems much easier to deal with.<br><br>-Bill<br></div></div><br>
