Thanks to all of you who participated in this effort, we now have a  
final draft ready for the Top 15 Questions About Plone at:

Thanks for doing this!

Comments/suggestions below:

#4: A free Plone add-on, RelStorage, also allows enterprises with  
investments in Oracle, MySQL and PostgreSQL to store the data driving  
their Plone site in their existing infrastructure for more robust  
scalability, clustering and failover.


This implies that the ZODB doesn't scale, and that you choose Oracle to do  
so — neither of which are true. ;)


I would drop the scalability argument, the main reason why people use it  
is the existing infrastructure/standards and tool support for  
failover/backup/clustering. So, something like:


A free Plone add-on, RelStorage, also allows enterprises with investments  
in Oracle, MySQL and PostgreSQL to store the data driving their Plone site  
in their existing infrastructure to be able to make use of familiar tools,  
clustering and failover solutions.


Not perfect, but you get the idea, and I'm sure you can make it better. :)



#5: Maybe mention something like As an example, plone.org is one of the  
few web sites in the world that has a 9 out of 10 PageRank in Google, the  
same as major sites like those of IBM and Microsoft.


It's a nice soundbite that people remember, and it's true. :)


The document looks great!

2009-04-11 Thread Donna Snow
Thank you so much for working on this document. I missed last Friday's Plone
Tune-up, I had a training session and I didn't hear about Thursday's
session until the day after ( I would have attended). I realize that was a
technical (email) issue and unavoidable.

Everything looks fantastic and I'm looking forward to using this at any
events where I'll be helping to host a booth.

Great work evangelism team!
