hey there, some time ago i was on the search for a newsletter product. the intentions and features of malthe borch's p4a.plonenewsletter [1] impressed me. but it was dependent of the p4a stack which wasn't compatible with plone4 at the time and a bit of an overhead since p4a best fits plone2.x sites.
so i created a package called collective.newsletter [2] from p4a.plonenewsletter with the same featureset but without the dependency on the p4a stack. the package was tested with plone4. it uses malthe borch's StoneageHTML [3][4], which was updated by me to work with the recent software stack (cssutils, plone4, ...). the main features are: - it uses existing newsletter management systems (mailman, google, sympa) - any archetypes based content type can be sent as an newsletter (also topics and collages, which can be used to collect the content to be sent) - it uses an collective_newsletter.css which is used to style the newsletter, besides other css resources from portal_css. it can be overloaded by zcml in you own integration product. missing bits for a first release: - extensive tests - encoding problems (especially the subject field is encoded in the moment as UTF8 which may cause problems) - codebase move to plone's collective if you are interested in this work, feel free to contact me. best, johannes raggam / thet[et[et]] [1] https://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/p4a/p4a.plonenewsletter/trunk/ [2] http://github.com/thet/collective.newsletter/ [3] http://github.com/thet/stoneagehtml [4] http://pypi.python.org/pypi/StoneageHTML/ _______________________________________________ Product-Developers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/product-developers
