Yes, PloneMall is made for complex sites. You can adjust nearly
everything. The overall-status is beta, some components are almost
stable (rc-state). Why beta? Some components are difficult to extend.
You can replace them easy by your own component by just dropping in your
new Product. Writing such own products using the model- and testdriven
development with UML/ArchGenXML is very easy an straight forward.

And over all you've the possibility to get PloneMall in the direction
your Requirements are. Every "User" is a developer here too!

Youre right. We should release an rc1 imo and release a 1.0 final soon.
Afterwards we can make some hard-wired components better.

atm its not enabled, but as LinguaPlone is very simple to use, so with
some model changes and code-regeneration using ArchGenXML this is a task
of just a few hours.

unfortunally theres isnt. i know, we have bad marketing. If you tell us
your requirements we can tell you if its built-in, possible, difficult
or incredible complicate :)
