Plone.org to Plone 6 Sprint - November 4th 2022

On November, join us with another plone.org renewal sprint.

Plone.org renewal sprint November 2022

Plone community is aiming for renewing plone.org to the Plone 6 version in 2022.

The preliminary plan was presented at Plone Conference 2021 https://2021.ploneconf.org/schedule/the-new-plone-org-built-on-plone-6

Status on 10/2022: beta site available, migration tested, content work needed.

Main ideas and status

  • Plone.org is a vital way to promote new Plone 6
  • Plone.org is going to be migrated to Plone 6
  • The visual theme will be slightly customized but somewhat close to out-of-the-box experience
  • Content needs refreshing: frontpage, many main landing pages
