[HLUG] Plone 3.0 CMS released !!

[Julian Robbins]

Hi

As you might know I am a big fan of Plone the Open Source Content 
Management System CMS.

Its always been quite heavy duty, and has huge amounts of flexibility, 
but with the long awaited recent 3.0 release there are so many wonderful 
new useful features. It really can now compete with the best of the 
commercial CMS solutions.

At a forthcoming LUG meeting I can do a demo of Plone, and the new 
features in vers 3.0

Some highlights:

     * Full versioning support, history and reverting to older revisions
     * Improved performance
     * Inline (Ajax) editing
     * Link and reference integrity checking
     * Automatic locking and unlocking
     * Improved handling of permissions and sharing
     * Upgraded visual (WYSIWYG) content editor
     * Full-text indexing of Word and PDF documents
     * Wiki support and multiple new mark-up formats
     * Rules engine for content
     * Strengthened security

For the full overview, see the Plone 3.0 feature list.
