Plone Foundation
The Plone Foundation* (see links on this site) exists to further the development, marketing, and legal affairs of Plone and the Plone community.
The Foundation was formed in May 2004 to serve as a supporting organization for Plone and is modeled after similar ventures, such as the Apache Software Foundation, and will be providing support for the development and marketing of Plone. In addition, the Foundation will be the legal owner of the Plone code, trademarks, and domain names. The goal is to ensure that Plone remains the premier open source content management system and that we broaden its acceptance and visibility.
Plone®, what's that?
Plone* is a ready-to-run CMS (=content management system) that is built on the powerful and free Zope application server. Plone is easy to set up, extremely flexible, and provides you with a system for managing web content that is ideal for project groups, communities, web sites, extranets and intranets.
- Plone is easy to use. The Plone Team includes usability experts who have made Plone easy and attractive for content managers to add, update, and mantain content.
Using the in-built Editor you can create your own websites in a manner that's simple like editing a text with a word processor!
