Well, I've been trying to get started on making a plone site for several weeks now and still haven't managed to get into it. I've got Martin's book, read tons of tutorials, watched video tutorials, chatted on the IRC, etc. but haven't been able to get a good idea of * how plone/zope is structured, * where to find a good example to start from and make it solve my problem (forms and data entry/view), * what you have to do to build a plone site, even at the highest level, e.g. define the main page templates, set up menus and interaction, etc. So I'd say I'd most need a comprehensive worked example of building (not using) a genuine site. take a look at the django documenation for reasonable examples. (I may have to give up on plone and start over with django which I don't know either but which seems more approachable). I'm sorry if this may not be the right place for this remark, but I'm really sad that I can't get into this framework, even though I'm a good python programmer, and expert lisp/c/c++ programmer. It's also sad that other friends, also expert programmers, even better than me have also given up on plone for lack of a comprehensive starting point. If anyone out there wants to help with my conservation project for the Galapagos, please let me know. I've already obtained a generous gift of plone hosting, but I'm floundering. There's no money in it, nor glory, saving the planet is like that. I do it beyond my daytime job.
