-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Zope is www.zope.org. CMF (on which Plone is based) is based on zope; so CMF is at cmf.zope.org. Then there's plone, which is at plone.org. Zope is a complete developement platform. To do simple things, it's easy to learn. To do more complex things, it's more difficult to learn. CMF is (as its name says) a framework for dealing with content. Still Zope-ish in learning curve terms. Plone is much more focused on the user who (like me) stuggles with the Zope learning curve, but still sees the power of Zope, loves free software...etc. Plone is a CMS, with user-friendly forms, buttons, workflows, that kind of thing. There's some interaction between Plone and CMF still, but it's less visible to the user. As far as learning Python: define "quickly." If you know Perl, if you're ESR, then it should be fairly easy to learn. Check out www.python.org for tutorial information. Plone is extremely lacking in readily available documentation, partially because it's still in beta status. There is documentation on the Plone site, but it's just a matter of finding it. And it isn't the formal type documentation, either. You can get a Plone demo by going to the Plone.org website... HTH Russell On Tuesday 15 October 2002 00:10 am, you wrote:
Hi all, I am new to the ZOpe/Plone world. I would like to know where I can get documentation on implementing Content Management soultons using Plone and Zope as the appserver. How much of Python would be required if I have a create a content driven web site. Is there a demo product available anywhere that I can use to quickly learn Zope/Plone.Python ????
Thanks in advance, Narayan
