Plone has been downloaded over 100,000 times, with many companies<br />
throughout the world offering consulting, customization, and support.</p>
<p>"We chose Plone for many of our client projects because of its<br />
out-of-the-box ease-of-use and features," says Barry Reicherter, Vice<br />
President for Porter Novelli Interactive, a division of the<br />
international media communications firm. "We could customize it<br />
quickly for our clients' needs, while retaining the intuitive<br />
interface and accessibility. That's critical for our clients'<br />
success. We're looking forward to the improvements that Plone 2<br />
offers, especially for larger organizations." Porter Novelli<br />
Interactive has delivered Plone solutions as part of its mission to<br />
deliver marketing-driven value to their clients, such as the recent<br />
launching of usepropane.com, a national site designed and managed<br />
entirely with Plone, and backed with a $25 million ad campaign.</p>
<p>Plone 2.0 offers significant productivity gains for content managers<br />
and developers. It includes an intuitive interface and out-of-the-box<br />
features such as time-based content publishing and role-based<br />
authoring and publishing. Particularly compelling for many<br />
organizations is that Plone is available without licensing costs and<br />
offers a similarly stable, feature-rich CMS environment as competing<br />
commercial systems costing hundreds of thousands of dollars.</p>
<p>There are dozens of new features and improvements in Plone 2.0, including:</p>
<p>* A user interface that has been streamlined and improved. Testing<br />
has shown it to be both flexible and intuitive. It takes existing<br />
features such as sophisticated workflow, wizard-style forms and<br />
content editing and offers many improvements.</p>
<p>* Sites deployed on the Plone 2.0 platform conform with government<br />
standards for website accessibility as the Plone interface is<br />
compliant with Section 508 and WAI-AAA standards.</p>
<p>* The entire Plone interface is customizable using standards-compliant<br />
programming and graphics tools.</p>
<p>* Add-on enhancements can now be installed, uninstalled, and<br />
examined with a one-click process. Trying out new additions is a snap.</p>
<p>* For enterprise users, user/group management features allow<br />
sophisticated security configurations. User data can come from many<br />
external sources, including LDAP, ActiveDirectory, or relational<br />
databases. Workspaces allow intuitive group collaboration.</p>
<p>"The Plone community continues to amaze everybody who chooses to be a<br />
part of it" said Alan Runyan, co-founder of Plone. "Many open source<br />
projects are only attractive to hard core software developers but the<br />
Plone project has attracted varied groups such as artists, musicians,<br />
usability specialists, and industry gurus. The Plone project<br />
management team is thrilled at the number of entities that offer<br />
training, full support, hosting, and consulting services. These<br />
services provide a level of security and professionalism that allows<br />
Plone to fit the needs of organizations around the world."</p>
