Any
Plone users at this forum? I've recently started to build a website for my work organization, using Plone and Zope. At this time I've done most things in Zope - set up a default Plone site and tweaked it a bit with skinning (CSS mostly). After the final tweaking I'll use Plone to make sure that the web content works nice and is easy to manage for other users, and then I'm hoping to publish the site. I don't expect it to happen until September though, maybe.
I do have some very basic Plone and Zope knowledge thanks to a course and a book. My impression is, despite quite many hours of browsing in the ZMI, that it's a very complex system. I have not found it easy to make the tweaks I've done this far. Sure, I did them much faster than expected, but I found some good examples and I was probably lucky. Many things in Plone are great, some are really not great.
Anyway, being relatively new to all this, I find it very pleasing to see the website taking shape. After just four days from the very start (creation of a default Plone site to start out with) it roughly looks like I wanted from the start (and it looks the same in IE, FF and Opera
).
