(it's very quick, no surveys or anything required to vote)

Note that there are two separate links/votes here, the latter for "Other
CMS", meaning "not PHP". Please vote in both categories.

It's unlikely that we can overpower the number of PHP users out there — but
with your help, we'd like to try. ;)

Thanks for your support!

[Plone-Announce] Plone 3.1.6 released

[Announcement of Plone releases and security-related notifications. Recommended subscription for all Plone developers and site admins. <plone-announce@li...>]

The 6th maintenance release of Plone 3.1 is now available. The important
changes since version 3.1.5.1 are:

* Improve handling of stale catalog entries encountered during folder
  reordering.
* Fix the silent failure of the group membership management of users via
  the user membership form.
* Restore icons for the language control panel in the 3.0.1 to 3.0.2
  migration.
* Fix test for automatically generated ids to handle content types with
  a dot in their name.
* By default, keep the styling when managing portlets separate from the
  styling when viewing the portlets, to improve usability with custom
  themes.
* Hide link to the dashboard from the personal preferences page if the
  user is not allowed to view the dashboard.
* Improve styling in MS Internet Explorer.
* Fix non XML syntax compliant ids in content menus.
* Correct problems with Firefox 3.0 and kupu.

The following packages and products were upgrades as part of this
release:

* Products.kupu 1.4.12
* Products.CMFPlone 3.1.6
* plone.app.contentmenu 1.1.5

More information about this release and links to installers can be found

[Plone-Announce] Plone 3.2a1 released

[Announcement of Plone releases and security-related notifications. Recommended subscription for all Plone developers and site admins. <plone-announce@li...>]

I'm proud to announce Plone 3.2a1, the first step towards an all egg-based
Plone release.

All packages used for this release can be found on both pypi.python.org
and http://dist.plone.org/release/3.2a1/ . You can use the latter as a 
custom index for setuptools or buildout. In additiong all version pin
information for this release can be found in a buildout-compatible
format at http://dist.plone.org/release/3.2a1/versions.cfg .

If you are using virtualenv for your Zope instance you can install Plone
using easy_install:

  easy_install Plone


If you are using buildout you can use this simple buildout recipe:

  [buildout]
  parts = instance
  extends = http://dist.plone.org/release/3.2a1/versions.cfg
  versions = versions
  
  [zope2]
  recipe = plone.recipe.zope2install
  url = http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.10.6/Zope-2.10.6-final.tgz
  fake-zope-eggs = true
  additional-fake-eggs =
      ZConfig
      pytz
  
  [instance]
  recipe = plone.recipe.zope2instance
  zope2-location = ${zope2:location}
  user = admin:admin
  eggs =
      Plone

This assume that you have PIL already installed. If you do not have PIL
installed you will need to add this line to the [buildout] section:

  find-links = http://dist.repoze.org/plone/latest

and add PIL to the eggs list in the instance section.

Wichert.

[Plone-Announce] Plone Conference 2008: One Week To Plone Conference 2008!

[Announcement of Plone releases and security-related notifications. Recommended subscription for all Plone developers and site admins. <plone-announce@li...>]

There is less than one week left until Plone Conference 2008 in DC! You can still register to attend here:

    http://ploneconf2008.eventbrite.com

    * Daily rates available.
    * The conference brochure has been uploaded.
    * We are filling up! The maximum conference attendance has been lowered to 325 to facilitate finalization. 
        That means there is only room for about 25 more people!

Please note: If you are interested in directly benefiting our planning efforts, you may still consider an individual 
or corporate sponsorship. It's not too late and we still need your help! If the initial sponsorships make the conference 
feasible (and they do) then the remaining sponsorships keep us sprinting toward the finish line (and we hope they will)!
