--- layout: post title: Plone created: 1040682000 categories: - Web 2.0 tags: - Plone - Zope - Python --- Lloyd had posted a comment asking what I knew of/thought of this Zope-based CMS system -- Plone. I went and had a quick look today. As I mentioned, it is built on top of Zope, which is itself a server/development environment/lots of other things that is written in Python. I imagine Plone has lots of the same benefits as Zope -- object-oriented, built-in management of permissions/roles for users and groups, etc., as well as the same drawbacks -- must be run on top of Zope, steep learning curve, low availability of skilled Python/Zope developers.
