Yes, Zope server will run on Windows. You can download an exe of Plone that comes with Zope from the plone website. However, you won't be able to run other webservers like IIS or Apache on port 80 - just the Zope server. You'd have to hunt around for tutorials to see if you can do both. I know people have tried with Apache, not sure about IIS.

Thanks Warren, Cameron for the information

My client's server is running on Win plateform. These CMS can be used on Win
Server?

I have a long way to go to learn how to work with CMS. Right now, I am just
trying to pick it up hoping that it is not hard ;) Just seems so
complicating to me right now.


Warren when is your research due? I'm not sure if I will be able to
implement this successfully due to my lack of knowledge in CMS. But I will
give you some feedbacks if it works.




Best Wishes, Jaime .......

Hi Jaime

The strengths of Zope/Plone are argued to be the usergroups, and Plone's
commitment to documentation and usability. See: plone.org, Zope.org,
OzZope.org, & http://docs.communitye.net/

Many of the gurus of the Zope & Plone dev communities are active on the
http://oscom.org list.

Zope is said to have a steep learning curve but Plone can be an easy first
step. While hosting a Zope-intranet is free, but Zope-Internet hosting is
usually an extra coast and may involve changing ISPs.

James Roberston suggests "Open source CMSs have matured to the point where
they should be considered side-by-side with commercial alternitives", but
there is a risk of over-investment in technical development. (Why? Because
you can!) (See www.steptwo.com.au re: open source CMSs - February 2004).

Case studies about Plone's use in rural Australia are beginning to be
published, There's Kevin Tharp's forthcoming Ph.D, for example:
http://infocom.cqu.edu.au/Staff/Kevin_Tharp/Research/
Otherwise, there's my notes on Community Portals & Demand Aggregation as
presented to OzZope.org.

I'm a masters student at Monash University. I researching some social and
training aspects of a Plone-community-portal (www.netc.coop) for towns in
Australia. I'd be interested to hear how you go with your implementation.

Hi

I have never tried any CMS except for Movable Type. I came across
http://plone.org and was wondering if it will be a good program to use for
updating of projects and for my personal portfolio. For clients with huge
product gallery, a CMS will help them a lot but I have never implemented
one.

What are your recommendations and views on Plone? Will it have issues with
W3C xhtml validations?

Best Wishes,
Jaime
