Re: [Evangelism] Fwd: Plone.Com project changes
I agree with Chris. What is on the RebelX server looks pretty but doesn't seem to have production-ready content yet. The scrolling sponsor area at the bottom will also need to be updated with real content. And... do we have permission from all those companies to use their logos?

Re: [Evangelism] PyCon Japan 2012 and Plone
When coming up with a release name, keep in mind we will need to be able to explain the choice to the media. We can't just say oh, it sounded nice, or this is a fun destination for vacation (although I personally like Ventura). Lion and Tiger both come with the connotations of powerful, superbe, respectful, etc. We will have to tie the name to the main features in Plone 5. So, what are the top 3 new benefits in Plone 5?

Re: [Evangelism] Re: Re: Top 15 Questions... Final Draft
Hi Dylan, This new draft is the results of many discussions and edits. It is important that the majority of people in the Community feel comfortable with it. Some of your concerns have been addressed in that we are now positioning Plone as an enterprise quality CMS. However we don't feel that Plone is a real DMS and don't think we should position it as one in light of the superiority of other products in that field. However, we did mention that Plone is a true CMS with built-in publication workflow and document management features in question #8. Furthermore, the description of Plone as being an application that is easy to use has been better expressed in this new statement: is easy for developers to download and install, and easy for end-users to use. While these are general guidelines we encourage the Community to follow, they should not prevent you from adapting the general message to better fit your sales pitch to a specific client. We just can't make the exception the rules for everyone. I hope this addresses your concerns.

These are all good points, and do not contradict the other parts of the story. you are right but the point I was making was that when we sing Plone's praises perhaps we pick just our key differentiator for our audience so that our message has more impact. I don't think easy to install is a key differentiator. Since its pretty unclear who the audience for these questions is, that makes it hard. Is this aimed at getting developers to take on plone as a tool or at organisation decision makers looking for a solution. -- Plone the community open source enterprise content management system. It's power comes from it's unique combination of content management, document management, workflow, collaboration tools and web theming engine. For those controlling the content of site it provides an easy to use yet power web interface. For those choosing their organisations next web presence or Intranet Plone efficiencies by combining several systems into one while maintaining integration with existing systems and the highest levels of security. For developers it provides to tools to create anything from a simple blog to scalble multiserver global intranet, customised to the exact user requirements. Plone is among the top 2% of all open source projects worldwide, with 200 core developers and over 300 solution providers in more than 50 countries. Plone has been actively developed since 2001, is available in more than 40 languages, and has the best security track record of any major CMS. Plone's codebase and intellectual property is owned by the Plone Foundation, which is a non-profit organization where donations are tax-deductible (at least in the US). -- It's a bit clumsy and could be cut down but I think it has more impact yeah? No one expects SAP to be easy to install do they? The thing is, Plone *is* easy to install, and you get a very sophisticated setup even when using the base installers. It's just a bit challenging to develop for at the moment, something that we're working hard on fixing. SAP is hard to install *and* hard to develop for.
