It's a very reasonable answer. Another way of getting 'free consulting' is organizing Plone/Python User Groups in your town. Plone/Zope are so popular nowadays you can probably convince a guru to come down to your PUG and then you can ask him how to resolve the issue. I know in the .uk there are quite a few companies; even if you cant give them $$ you can give them a reference which would be a incentive for some of these companies! Get creative. Get on the phone. Get your problem solved. Alan _______________________________________________ Setup mailing list [email protected] http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/setup
