Plone is fast and modern (and we are currently working on Plone 5, even
faster and with a new grid / Deco system and UI) being Python does indeed
help :)
I really can't see anything that would take more then a couple of days to
move over except the theme (I guess Im missing something)  and projects like
LDP  etc and feeds, blogs, news, events are pretty much OOTB or available
with a quick addon.

What do people think of me setting up a test system next week with some of
the current content on (I can just copy and paste) and of course people can
also mention anything else they would like to see the site do in terms of
functionality so I can add it in.

I will then send around user (and to some I assume admin) passwords if
people supply me with a request for one and a encryption key, I guess then
it just comes down to if people want to make the move over which would take
a few days after the theme is ready and can be after people have had access
to a test portal.

Also Plone 4.1 is very much Mobile compatible :)

Peace

Wyn
