Sure - these aren't necessarily solid arguments *against* Plone (except that we're inexpert at it), but rather *for* ikiwiki+git. Could you point me at how, please? I've not been an admin on a Plone site for 6 or 8 years, I didn't know disconnected editing was possible and I'm writing for other projects using Plone for their websites in the near future, so it would be useful for me to know. I didn't find anything useful searching plone.org for "disconnected" or browsing the documentation.

That sounds like extremely > unlikely breakage. Actually, "corrupted the database by trying to download" is my mistake. I don't know that for sure. I just think it's the most probable explanation, but it could have been the attempts to add a new user to plone which broke it, or simply the phase of the moon. As far as I know, the download attempt was simply a davfs mount, then tar czvf content.tar.gz mountpoint. It seemed an extremely unlikely breakage to me too, but that didn't make anyone any happier with us after www.spi-inc.org was replaced by some error messages!
