Hi Erin! It is great that you are looking for this information here! Becasue I think I can help you.
I am not a coder, nor a Ploneista, just love good stuff. Beside all the rumours around Plone - there has been some progress in wiring this two wings (CIVICRM and Plone) together. Some of us thinks important to reuse the existing inventions from differnet cultures :) Last year, a group of activist from around the globe felt, that there is a real need between NGO's on the membership management domain, to work on this connection. *In Oxford at **The Ecampaigning forum: * http://fairsay.com/events/campaigning-camp/front-page this side event was about that, with the lovely sponsorhip of FRY-IT. (Thanks again the good food guys and Duane:) You might ask Michael McAndrew <http://civicrm.org/blogs/michael-mcandrew>, who has written about it : http://civicrm.org/blogs/michaelmcandrew/campaigning-camp-report-back Or even some guys from Netsight (Mike Rhodes) who knows more about the current position. this is some early historical fact: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00093.html and list members can find the call for common-dev here, in the archives: http://plone.293351.n2.nabble.com/UK-Sprint-Campaigning-Camp-td4625331.html 2010/10/20 Chris Steel <[email protected]> > Hi Erin, > > Perhaps your emails got crossed. > > By the way, Plone could be an excellent choice this project. > > In fact, if memory serves me, a number of years ago (2004-5) someone > associated with Dalhousie mentioned this goal to me and we both thought that > Plone was an excellent solution as it is highly scalable, internationally > accepted (multi-lingual capable) and includes all of the accessibility > features required by law in most if not all countries. > > And, yes, you can do all of the things you have requested with Plone as > well. > > Sincerely, > > Christopher Steel > > Executive Director, > Voice of Access > > On Wed, Oct 20, 2010 at 3:23 PM, Erin O'Halloran <[email protected]>wrote: > >> Hi there, >> >> I'm studying at Dalhousie University in Halifax, N.S., Canada and I need a >> little help with a project I am working on for my digital libraries class >> (I'm a Master of Library and Information Studies student). >> >> We're looking at implementing an open source CRM for a project called >> Knowledge for All (K4All).
