I'll answer this when I have time, but I feel it's not flexible at all. There seems to be a very poorly implemented markup framework... I just saw some frustrated user wanting to pay for a reskinning on the Plone list this week. I also feel the usability design is very poor in places. I don't know why there is such a lack of understanding of the basic software UI design guidelines happening in the web community. It astounds me at times. ----- Geoff ********************************************************* The CMS discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ *********************************************************
