system.
The fact is, I don't know what I don't know. All I do know is
that I sat in front of the screen after installing Plone and
wondered "what now?". I'm just a
Further to what chris said, I sat down to write a tutorial last year
called "how to host a plone site in 20min for $20". As I started
writing out the steps of what was required to go from a locally
installed and configured plone site to a remotely hosted one I
realised it just had too many steps and too many things to learn.
So instead I wrote collective.hostout with the goal being that if you
can at least add a recipe to our local buildout file then it will do
everything else for you to deploy and host your site. It will be
released soon in alpha.
