Develop Lotus Domino-like applications in Plone
Plomino is a Plone/ZOPE product which provides users with a Lotus Domino-like application development toolkit.
Plone/ZOPE is a wonderful platform, but it might be difficult for a non-developer to design a Plone business-specific application other than standard content management.
With Lotus Domino, a user can easily design databases able to handle very different business needs (knwoledge management, project management, collaborative workplaces, etc.).
What is missing in Plone/ZOPE to handle that ? Mainly the following points:
- be able to create new structured content types, more specific than the core CMF types
- be able to build differents views to list the same contents in different ways
- be able to display content through dynamic forms
That is what Plomino aims to do.
Plomino is an opensource solution, distributed under ZPL (ZOPE Public License).
