Personally I don't think it would be worth it. Note: my Plone experience is only really based on trying it out a while back so may not be completely accurate. But there doesn't seem (to me at least) much crossover between Plone skills and TG skills. In the small business website market, it is much harder and more expensive to find Plone hosting than (for example) Drupal hosting. To me Plone seemed more suited to 'enterprisey' customers who need fancy access control, directory integration etc and can host their own servers. A popular PHP CMS is probably the best thing for small businesses in terms of access to cheap hosting and consultants. The only consultants I know of locally that do (or did) Zope/Plone work seem to be moving away from it to Drupal or Rails depending on what suits the customer better. I suppose that makes sense for consultants though - Drupal and Rails seem to have most of the marketing momentum in the web world these days. I think I've mentioned it before, but I'd love to see a flexible TG based CMS / online community engine that was heavily inspired by Drupal. But a large part of Drupals attraction is its development community (and their contrib modules) and that part would be very hard to build. -- Cheers Anton --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
