Plone has the easiest setup story of all the CMSes. You don't even need to have a database and a webserver for $deity's sake. Some how installing and configuring a database, and a webserver is easier than running an installer ! I think the key quote from the TFA is "Since I had some experience with drupal, I suggested that we go with drupal, since I had some experience with its working. I worked for a couple of hours to set up a basic site on my local machine" Yeah? really? what about downloading a windows installer or a mac installer for plone and doing a click-click-click as KG suggested and be done with it in minutes? The biggest joke of all has to be the fact that all the features that I see on their site, including events works out of the box on plone without installing a single external plugin. And plone's event features have lot more features than the half-assed calender i see on that site. PHP+MySQL is the BASIC of this age. +PG _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
