Plone Live is the result of a year of work, full- and part-time, of the two authors, Michel Pelletier and Munwar Shariff, our technical editor, Jean Jordaan, and our copy editor, Amy Kesic. But this book is more than what you are holding (or reading on the screen), because this book is live; every month, the authors add new content and fix typos, responding to the feedback our readers leave on our site, PloneLive.com.
Over the next year, this book will tackle one of the greatest challenges for any book about modern, open source software: remaining current. Using the traditional publishing method, books quickly become out-of-date and irrelevant, rather than remaining up-to-date, useful references. By updating this book every month, SourceBeat has created a unique publication format that solves these problems with traditional publication methods.
First, it's hard to get a book about a complex piece of open source software 100% correct; in fact, almost impossible when one or two authors and one technical reviewer must often document a system built by dozens or perhaps hundreds of programmers. By creating orderly, feature-based releases each month, the book can evolve over time to cover more and more complex features of the software, and we can catch errors quickly in the first few updates.
Second, open source software, like Plone, often does not follow a hard-and-fast feature plan, but instead adds new, innovative features as they are thought up by creative developers trying to solve real world problems. By updating the book each month, the book can quickly adapt to cover any new technologies or trends that emerge from the community of users. Books that are released once every year or two cannot follow or easily adapt to these trends.
Third, like open source software, books have communities. However, traditional books have a large disconnect between the reader and the author because there is no way for the reader to get feedback to the author. Even if they could, there are seldom clear, easy-to use-channels for redistributing books or errata. By creating the “live” book format, SourceBeat is creating a new way for readers and authors to make better books cooperatively.

» complete changeThe default Plone site is immediately usable if you want a collaborative workspace a' la Microsoft SharePoint, eRoom, or a basic informational web site and is frequently used as a workgroup collaboration portal.
Registered users can upload articles, files, calendar events, and web pages into personal and group folders that are searchable using Zope's indexing and searching functionality. There is also commenting functionality that enables threaded discussion around any content asset.
Users are able to grant or deny other users from accessing their folders and files by using Zope's powerful access control system, which is simplified by the Plone user interface.
Zope's acquisition functionality makes access control policies cascade down into
subdirectories unless specifically overridden, similar to [[Windows]] folder sharing.
While Plone can be used as a foundation to build any web site, a collaborative workspace is the most common and straightforward use of the software.
h1. Content Creation/Editing
There are several ways to add/update file based content on a [[Plone]] site. The default and most commonly-used method is by using the upload functionality of the web interface. This works well for one-at-a-time uploads.
Plone also supports content addition through [[WebDAV]] and [[FTP]], through which Plone looks like a simple directory structure of a file share. Of course, adding content in this way causes metadata to be left blank and this can be a problem.
One very useful tool supported by Plone is called ExternalEditor. ExternalEditor is a client side Python script that gets launched by your browser when you click on the
pencil link next to an asset link of an ExternalEditor-enabled Plone site. ExternalEditor stores the file in a temporary local directory, and launches the client program of your choice (such as Microsoft Word for a .doc file).
ExternalEditor then monitors the file and, whenever it is updated, sends a copy up to the server. As long as your local client program is open, the file on the server is displayed with a lock icon, which prevents version conflicts.
In addition to file-based content, Plone allows authors to write web pages and add news items and other content types (easily extensible through Zope's archetype framework). There are additional modules for functionality like [[blogs]] and a [[wiki]].
h1. Management
Plone has a powerful [[security]] model. Each user has his own folders and folders can be created for groups.
Users are able to
allow other users to share files and sub-folders within their user and group folders. Plone's workflow is based on Zope's DCWorkflow and can be used to submit assets for public view and can be part of a process to share reusable assets across
teams.
While Plone does not have native support for versioning of content, this feature is available through modules such as
PVSF or Plone2.
h1. Presentation
Plone comes enabled to index all of the [[Microsoft]] file formats for search. Additional formats, such as [[PDF]], are index-able by
adding some extensions to the core applications. There is a feature called “Smart Folder,” which is like a dynamic saved search.
Most UI configuration (such as branding the site with images, palette, and font, and configuring workflow) can be done through
the administration interface. Deeper modifications require familiarity with the [[Python]] programming language, [[Zope|Zope's]] Page
Template language TAL (Tag Attribute Language), and [[CSS]].
h1. Community and Support
The Plone community represents a large and active portion of
the overall [[Zope]] community. From time to time, the Plone
community holds conferences in the United States and in
Europe.
Several companies also sponsor Sprints where
developers get together and work intensively on a specific set
of features. Recently, the Plone community has received an
infusion of investment through the Goldegg project which is
designed to refine Plone’s architecture and prepare it for Zope
3.
The books available for Plone are well written and
informative. The mail lists are responsive and are archived
on [[GMANE]]. General Google searches are also useful in
getting answers.
