Our Plone-hosted content management site

This weekend found my partner, Asad, very busy getting our content-management site up and running. You can see it here. It is still quite bare-bones looking, but the power in the site is quite impressive. A Plone-hosted content management site enables users to upload and download heavy files, assign client/member access and manage document tracking and versions. There are many other interesting features and I invite anyone who wishes to learn more about Plone by checking out right-hand column of my blog . Simply select Plone under on-demand learning or look at the web 2.0 tutorials as there are frequently Plone vodcasts that show up there. You can go to Plone.org and learn more there too of course.

Well, now our task is to make the site more knowledgework friendly and accurately describe our products and services. We look forward to showing this to world as it evolves.

We've used a Plone site at work for several years and we love parts of it. The calendar and the file space are outstanding. There are features that aren't so great, but since the Plone site is very link friendly, we can supplement it with other resources.

Yes, what I am investigating is whether the site can handle nested links (links within links within links etc.) as will be required with DITA (Darwin Information Typing Architecture) content. Time will tell in our case.
