I think so. It looks nice, and seems quite usable and maintainable. Like I said, the only real issues I noticed were the lack of access controls (users should not be able to modify config nor (imho) content) and the seemingly useless calendar (is that some kind of 'see this folder how it was on xx-xx-xxxx' control?)

I would eliminate one item I've been procrastinating on for some time, and I'd be happy to relieve Robert of any Techdocs maint based on Plone. -- -Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 6+ messages in thread

The site seems a little slow to me -- it took five seconds to bring up the home page, compared to two for the postgresql.org home page. Not terrible, but noticeable. >> > OK.

The structured text aspect of plone seems to be a bit iffy to me. In particular, it looks like there's a *lot* of indenting involved based on their description of it (http://plone.org/documentation/book/10). Other concerns: - Inline preformatted text is done with apostrophes. This seems prone to accidents, particularly if you try to use SQL inline. - It *looks* like you can only do preformatted text if the preceding paragraph ends in a colon (which needs to be doubled). - It replaces HTML with another formatting language. It attempts to be simpler, but I'm not sure if it succeeds. A good test would be to take an article that has a fair number of SQL examples in it, and port it to plone's format. If this were done by someone who's already written articles (and might do so again) -- I'm thinking of Josh, that would be particularly helpful. >> 'k, is this replacing techdocs, or just part of techdocs? > > If we're going to do it, we need to replace the whole thing IMO. I agree. We don't need to add another method of storage/delivery if we can avoid it. As of last night, I have Bricolage installed on a server, and am now attempting to figure out how to use it (not very obvious). As far as I can tell, it publishes plain HTML to any number of servers, without needing anything special running on the destination web server, so it'll be hard to beat that for speed. It also allows for writing, editing, approving and publishing as separate steps (the last two might be combined). ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 6+ messages in thread
