Rene and Tim, Thanks for the help! I am glad that I didn't rule out Plone yet because I was able to download and install quickly. My "site" was up and running very quickly.
For this class we are more focused on the HCI/usability stuff than we are the coding. I have plenty of other classes that focus on the coding. I am hoping that we could build an extension or two using python (if needed), and I would like to completely redesign the main "skin," but other than that I need the CMS tool so Plone looks like a great fit. I tried installing Zope last night, but when I did, I couldn't find out how to even start it for about an hour after searching. I was worried that if I went the Plone/Zope route, then I would need to know both. It looks like Plone just makes Zope much easier to work with. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
