Plone Help Center

by Alex Limi last modified Feb 16, 2011 02:06 AM

Plone Help Center is an application designed to aid the documentation of Plone, and is used on plone.org to categorize and keep documentation up to date. It should be usable for documenting other open source products (such as Plone Product add-ons) or even for other documentation projects.

Project Description

Plone Help Center provides a set of content types suited to project documentation (FAQ, How-To, Manual, Tutorial) containers to hold them, and mechanisms for categorizing, searching, and sorting them.
