We as many others today, but less public, use zope for small to large business
apps.

I know from i.e. Warner Broth. Europe that they run most of their artists /
label sites onto Plone too in a larger clustered setup under "significant"
(... not allowed to talk about numbers here...) load. From the frontend you
can't see that it's Plone behind...;) But for smaller websites which are non
"portalic" we use ZMS (zope based too) since more then 10 years...

We run Zope on BSDs as different linuxes - standalone and clustered since >10
years, so this is a system what i widely know and experienced with - there
will be others too which are equally good / developed (but i haven't such a
experience over it so can't talk about).

I think that Plone could be the ideal starting point to build and grow up a
real community portal für a community project as OpenNIC as i got's many
attention from i.e. european governmental sides in form of financial and
developement ressources. Today it is fairly easy to set up (but not on a
typical LAMP FTP hostspace...) theming and extend a Plone website even without
any Python or Zope knowledge, but open for nearly anything in the future... ;)

Ok, yes - will do (but as i wrote this week im switching home and office, so
from next week i'm back to this again).

If interested i can setup a Plone on one of our machines to play with next
week (sorry again for the delay). If you want to play with it locally on Linux
or windows, just follow i.e.:

http://plone.org/documentation
is a very good Plone docs ressource

a quick install guide for Linux/BSD, Mac OS X and Windows:
http://plone.org/documentation/manual/installing-plone/installation-quick-
guide

Installation on Windows could be done just by downloading / clicking onto the
install package.

the more detailed:

best regards,


Niels.
