Plone

Wow... I mean, wow. I went to a Utah Ruby Users Group tonight as I have been looking into Ruby/Rails, Groovy/Grails, and other CMS/frameworks. Ok... so one of the guys there (I thank him deeply) introduced me to Plone. He just said: "Go check it out". So I went and I actually hyperventilated durring the presentation (NEVER happened before). I was jumping up and down on the couch I was so excited. As you can probably tell, I LOVE python. Love it. I was not looking forward to learning grails and rails (I have ready read 400-500 page books on each, but to really learn them it takes a lot of practice and a good learning curve)... but now I DON'T HAVE TOO! I am buying a book tomorrow so I can digest as much as I can on Plone. Just watch the videos at http://www.plone.org. I will have much more to say about plone, I'm sure, in the near future. Development starts tomorrow!

Glad to hear that you've found Plone, and taken steps to establish a user group for Utah. Looking forward to interacting with the plone community around these parts.

Thanks David. I am a python ENTHUSIAST! I don't know why, but I had never heard of Plone, but I now have a 600 page book that I plan to down tonight... well it could take a couple of nights. I have watched the screencasts and read some documentation and already I am an avid follower. I can't wait to also get involved in and contribute to the community.
