Description

From http://plone.org/products/ploneboard

Ploneboard is an easy to use web board. It utilizes the proven Plone user interface, and is made for easy integration into Plone sites. The target audience is businesses and developers wanting a discussion board in their Plone site.

Ploneboard aims to do one thing, and do it well. It will never be an over-the-top all-bells-and-whistles message board, but will stay minimal in the sense that it's living inside an existing content management system - and will leverage that to the fullest extent possible.

This product is only compatible with Plone 2.1.3 and later, including Plone 2.5. On Plone 2.1 you must have the 'Five' product be installed. Ploneboard does not work with Zope 2.7, you need 2.8 or 2.9.

The product's principal developers include:

• Plone Solutions?
• See https://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/Ploneboard/trunk/CREDITS.txt

  • Initial impressions (based primarily on playing with product in Plone, minimal code look):
    • Pro: working code!
    • Con: some status information appears in non-default language: may be an interaction problem with LinguaPlone or some such. Need to investigate further.
