What is Plone Starter?

You write:

"Plone Starter provides a simple product to start with product development for Plone."

There is no information on how this can help me to start with product development!

You give no reason whatsoever why I should try this product.

Imagine someone who comes to Plone.org and sees your product. What is the impression
they will get? I am sure you invested a lot of time to write the product, and then
you don't take the 5 minutes to write 10 lines of description?

For sure. I have to create more documentation at all.

This will come in the next weeks...

I have to think of a better description. But what should I say. It´s a simple product providing some of the basic concepts like e.g. i18n / Plone Tool / Archetypes.

The idea after this was, that I have not found an easy and working product to start a development for plone.

You write: "For sure. I have to create more documentation at all."

I am not at talking about documentation, just a short description of what you product does.

You write: "This will come in the next weeks..."

Writing a short introduction takes 15 minutes maximum to write, not a few weeks!

You also write: "I have to think of a better description. But what should I say. It´s a simple product providing some of the basic concepts like e.g. i18n / Plone Tool / Archetypes."

That's a start, but what is it exactly? A product that can be used as a template, a framework on which you can extend your products?

Then you write: "The idea after this was, that I have not found an easy and working product to start a development for plone."

Then this is exactly what you should write in your description!

Why did you write it?
Why is it important?
How does it solve the problems?
Is it good for programmers, or can it be used from the Plone Management interface"
How does it compare to the Archetypes examples?
How does it compare to ArchgenXML.

All of these questions, you can write about, and that should not take more than 15 minutes to write!

Also, how does it compare to sceletor in the collective svn?

I have changed the product page. I think it should be clear now, what PloneStarter is for.

Thanks, it's much more clear now!
