+1 The buildout approach was exactly what I was thinking when reading Nate's last email too, Steve :) Niche/Type-of-Site/Industry-specific Distros are something we've talked about for a long time. I recall a few of us on this list doing so at a BoF at the Seattle Conference. But we didn't

Matt, It would be great to get a list of the things Plone would need to do to be considered categorized as Enterprise by CMS Watch. If I were to venture a guess, it might be: 1) Gartner and/or Forrester have a good rating on this CMS 2) Have a large vendor behind the product that provides a

Nate, This is great to see we're headed in the right direction, but I think the fact I am saying that, says we're not there yet and is why Plone isn't looked at as 'Enterprise' just yet. Nice job on the post, Sally. Actually, I had seen it recently, but couldn't recall who/where it was

Hi Scott, I wanted to make sure we linked up at Gilbane; maybe we can discuss in more depth some pros/cons of Plone versus other systems and you can determine the best way to position that in the panel discussion without it being so us-versus-them. We have a small pedestal display area for

Scott, Regarding the different approaches, I think it's worth mentioning and possibly getting some input/material from Chris Johnson at ifPeople on the concept of 'Social Sourcing'. He's made some presentations at Plone conferences on the topic and this is how the PloneGetPaid.com
