Plone is still disgustingly slow but it is feature complete. One thing to consider with Plone/Zope/ZODB stuff is in case you store large files for which the ZODB is simply not designed (yes, they end up in memory as do all BLOBS in all DBMS). There is a solution for this if required.
We'll probably have a a video on the website, but I don't want to host the actual CD/HD images on our server (this can be done by BerliOS and SourceForge and other mirrors). Well, maybe we'll have to host the original image which must be updated by the mirrors... How can we do this? Isn't there some folder (on the file system) that allows for hosting static content? I know that you can store skins that way.

I have experience with XUF which does this.
Could you please help me? I thought about a hacky solution where I create a Plone Python script that uses acl_users.authenticate() or something like that to verify the supplied username and password and returns whether it is correct. I'd modify DbAuth, so Trac authenticates via that URL.

I would stick with the default skin, initially. It is probably the best thing about Plone that is not Zope. Alexander Limi really understands interface design.
Also, Plone 3.0 will have a new nice interface. I'm okay with the current interface. I'd just like to have have nice mode for switching between "edit" and "view" mode. There is one on the Plone website, but I don't really like maintaining customizations, so I hope Plone 3 will have it integrated...

Do you still want a forum?
Yes, phpBB would be okay, but if we can convert the existing posts to a Plone-based forum (so everything is integrated) it would be even cooler. Do you know if that is possible?
We'll also have to convert the build factory's website into a Plone package...
