[Chicago] Plone Book Review

[Brian J. Greenberg]

Hi Chris,

There are a couple applications I use Plone for, my own personal web space
(which is constantly under development for my own practice) which includes
articles and presentations, community portals, and I'm working on developing
a site for a friend of mine who is a Jazz artist.  There are special
pre-configured Plone instances especially for artists (see
http://plone4artists.org/).  Additionally, I consider Plone a platform that
I can use to do what everyone else is already doing (wiki, blog,
syndication, media library, mailing lists, collaboration, etc.) but instead
of in disparate pieces, I can do it on one platform without having to write
any code.  However, if I want to customize it, no problem.  It's python.  I
can also use any database I like even though it comes with the Zope object
database, or any web server that I like, even though it comes with its own
web server.

BTW... an excellent place to start is at http://plone.org/about which has
screen casts (movie demonstrations) and samples of sites that use Plone.
