In my opinion having a test system won't hurt anybody if you are keen to do this. When there's a test system up, we can compare whether we want to move Plone or not.

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 WynOn Fri, Aug 26, 2011 at 7:31 PM, Ville Jyrkkä <vjyrkka@xxxxxxxxx <mailto:vjyrkka@xxxxxxxxx>> wrote:Sounds interesting!

Of course If things are scaling up it could be better to change for a more advanced and easier to use / extend system like Plone 4 which I can arrange free hosting for and also supports LDAP etc and is better at the whole CMS thing overall (disclaimer: I am a Plone expert and foundation member) I am in Helsinki a few times a month including next Tuesday.

LDP is one of the main reasons for sudden burst in activity and amount of new members. The latest addition to LDP is that Helsinki has started a new node. Currently there are two nodes: Tampere and Helsinki. Plans to get one in Oulu are still under work. This is great! However, such success also means that our services (such as maintaining and developing LDP stuff) need more help. So far there has been only a few people working with different services and I have been one of them. Unfortunately, I have to concentrate on other stuff now and amount of contribution will drop dramatically. Therefore, I'm asking for new people to get involved in multiple areas, out of which LDP is probably the most important now. I have managed to setup current LDP management routines in Drupal and I admit that it's a mess. If there is any possibility that someone more experienced with Drupal would take over, I'd be more than happy to give some information about what has been done so far. If such person(s) could be found, it might be wise to meet in person and look through the current implementation (since it's a mess). Another thing that I cry help for is the Information Depot, which is intended to be a place to add links (with descriptions and other meta stuff) to presentation material (from our meetups and other events). Again, I started the process and created some elements for it, but due to limit on time available, I can't go forward with it. I know there are people who could assist MNFI community in this, please step forward :) /Jarkko-- ---------------Organizer (TMN, Tampere Meego Network) Local Device Program manager (LDP, Tampere) Email: jarkko dot moilanen at meegonetwork dot fi More info: http://meegonetwork.fi Discussions: irc.freenode.net#meego-fi <http://irc.freenode.net#meego-fi> http://meego.ajatukseni.net/
