I apologize in advance for offtopic in this mail-list, especially in
this flamefool thread. But, I hope, some thoughts which may be useful
for Node.JS CMS developers, if such exist.

I do not fully understand about this comparison -- speed for what?
Plone is a CMS and Node.JS -- async. I/O framework -- absolutely
different things. Comparison between Node.JS and Python-based
frameworks (for ex. Pyramid or Twisted) would be more reasonable. In
Internet can be found in a variety of materials about such comparisons
with a very differnet results, but it's not correspond with this
thread discussion.

Really? Sites described at article in my prev. mail and many other
sites works with a large amount of different kinds of content and
large number of users. So, rumors about Plone slowness are strongly
exaggerated (especially for Plone 4) -- your portal just must be
properly designed and configured, as for any other platform (PHP-based
-- too). Plone.org site contains many materials about programming,
setting and tuning for high-load sites -- ZEO-clustering, caching,
using of external engines (like Node.JS) and data-storages, and etc...

Do you mean sites design? In Plone you may implement any design. Many
things you may do by buttons clicking and themes choosing, all other
things may be done by common tools by common designers + some kind of
templates hacking and programming, as in many other web-oriented
solutions.

Many markets was died, but it's does not mean stopping of development.
What can you say about web-browser market? It was died many years ago,
but "browser wars" only wars becoms more violent.

About popularity -- PHP solutions more popular for 5$ hosting, and
Plone -- for education/scientific/government self-hosted sites. But
this discussion seems like offtopic for this list -- Plone/PHP/CMS
mailing lists looks more appropriate.

And what is conclusion? It is consequence of general designs weakness
-- for Plone developed many 3-td party products and extensions too,
but Plone sites was not hacked. It's like UNIX/Linux and Windows --
the root of viruses in base OS architecture.

Ufff... And finally -- I'm very sorry again for large and mostly
offtopic post, but may be, if someone really interested to develop
Node.JS based CMS, looking to Zope/Plone mechanics -- like a sandbox
isolation, roles and permissions, etc may be helpful.
