[TriZPUG] Buildout script consultation needed

[Robert Kraus]

Group,
We had SixFeet Up generate a buildout script for our current pilot Plone 
server. We had them do this a couple of months ago so we could migrate 
it more easily to a new server platform (we had hoped to do this by Dec 
08). I have tried running the script recently on our new server and the 
it throws a number errors and will not complete. I have done a good bit 
of exploring, reading, and studying to get a general handle on the 
structure and process of a buildout, and on trying to get this script to 
work. I resolve one error only to have another one show up. Like many of 
you no doubt, SixFeet Up has their own particular way of scripting a 
buildout--which does not follow closely Martin Aspeli's model--and so 
not all of what they are doing corresponds to the other documentation I 
have been studying (Aspeli's own documentation, while solid, also leaves 
many questions unanswered).

Bottom line: We need to have a working buildout script very soon so we 
can get our server into production; we are behind schedule. I am looking 
for someone to work with me, to answer some general and some very 
specific questions regarding the buildout structure and process. FPG IT 
Services is willing to pay for someone to consult with me. Much of this 
could probably be handled over the phone. (SixFeet Up has not responded 
to my pleas for help thus far--I am sure they have much larger fish to 
fry and I realize it is the 'holiday's afterall).

Anyone interested in working with me on this? I would greatly appreciate 
it. Give me a buzz. I am in the office most of tomorrow. Email me or 
call 919-448-4559.
Thanks, and happy new year to you all,

Robert
