Cool! One lightning talk I was going to give at Europython, but ran out of time was showing how quick and easy it is to install Plone for python developers. I recorded it as a screencast and showing how you can go from just plain python2.6 install to an up and running Plone 4 install in under 3 minutes! http://www.screencast.com/users/MattJHamilton/folders/Jing/media/596b71e3-edb2-4150-976a-fb7c746690b7 -Matt -- Matt Hamilton ma...@netsight.co.uk Netsight Internet Solutions, Ltd.
