Bottle.py: An entire web-framework packaged in a single Python module. Bottle bills itself as a micro-framework, fast, simple and lightweight. Having had a chance to play around with it, I can testify to this. It makes a superb development server, among other things. After previous battles with Zope/Plone it’s pretty incredible to get a server up and serving pages in a few lines of Python, with one imported module.

Plone and Python software professionals

This article describes an alternative approach to HTTP caching with Plone.

in the interest of furthering discussion about the future of plone, here are some of my personal opinions on things that i’d like to see applied to plone — both the process and the software.

Plone 4: Speed, Power & Beauty

We're proud to announce Plone 4, the latest version of our state-of-the-art open source CMS. It's faster, more powerful and more beautiful than ever before.

Plone (plone.org) was chosen because of the system's ease-of-use, robust feature set, strong open source community, reduced vendor lock-in, outstanding customizability, standards compliance, reputation, economics, and high performance.

Plone is a popular Open Source Web CMS based on the Zope application framework. A recent review of Plone by Roger Johansson is definitely worth a close read if you are considering Plone as a Web CMS.

Zwiki is.. a powerful, innovative, user-friendly wiki engine based on the Zope 2 platform. This project has been developed since 1999 by Simon Michael and contributors around the world, powers many Zope and non-Zope-related wikis, and is free software released under the GNU GPL . Please explore the site, and enjoy the software. Your questions, comments, patches and donations are most welcome!

It's important to back up FileStorage files (.fs files), for the same reasons it's important to back up all critical files. The intended way to back up an .fs file is with the oddly named repozo.py script. This performs efficient incremental backups against a live FileStorage (there's no need to bring the app down), and is aware of that a FileStorage is in a temporarily non-sane state during the time a transaction is in the process of committing. Doing a raw file copy, or rsync, isn't aware of the latter problem, and should not be used on a live FileStorage file; a filesystem-level copy is fine if the FileStorage file isn't open for write access, but repozo still has an advantage then in knowing how to do incremental backup.

There are several ways to backup all data related to Plone.
