Hi all,
EngageMedia are very excited to announce the first public release of
Plumi, a Plone based video sharing CMS. Plumi enables you to create a
sophisticated video sharing and community site out-of-the-box. In a
web landscape where almost all video sharing sites keep their
distribution platform under lock and key Plumi is one contribution to
creating a truly democratic media.

* Tagging

* Open Content Licensing including Creative Commons (through their
