2002

It was approximately 1 year ago, 8/12/01 when Alexander sent me an early screenshot of Plone in IE.

CVS access is moved to sourceforge. Now people can keep in sync with what we are doing.As well as see the mess that I leave in the HEAD ;p

When plone grows up. It should *know* what it is. Unlike ZOPE which suffers from multiple personalities. Plone should learn from this and not become feature laden. It should focus on one area and do that area *really* well. What should that area be?

Almost there! We need to squash the rest of these bugs, address some usability issues, make a few CSS changes and we will be at 1.0.

Lalo and Sidnei, two absolutely phenomonial programmers have backported Z3 i18n services to Zope and in the process created their own 'drop-in' versions of ZPT!

On the death march to a 1.0 release, I decided to release 0.9.8, the Ulrich Schnauss release. A fundamental base href change was made. All edit_forms will be impacted.

Plone 1.0 beta1 is released. Feature freeze. Collector cleanup underway.

looking around I found a major problem that impacted plone. members couldnt edit their homepages !

October 10, 2002 - 1600 GMT in #plone we will startthe beta2 bug day. This was taken from mail to plone-dev.

You are all invited to help squash bugs, implement new features, and meet the Plone Team. Tuesday, June 18 @ 8AM US/Central or 13:00:00 GMT. Hopefully we will continue throughout the day.

In effort to get 1.0 details sorted out we willhost the 2nd Plone Bug Day on openprojects.net on #plone. This will begin July 25 @ 9AM CST

talktech.org, a weekly bi-coastal talk this week will have guests, Paul Everitt and George A. Runyan Jr. Talking about Opensource, ZOPE, Plone and Enterprise adoption.

Plone is gathering quite a bit of momentum. the CVS is currently hosted on my co-located box. I want to get away from all adminstration and this seems like a good place.

Geoff Davis cooked up mailing list activity stats. Also we havesurpassed 2300 cvs checkins we get something like 4k page viewsa day. I would imagine the PloneWindows installer is going to bevery popular.

This has got to be a new low for trying to scrape up news. After last nights recalculation of Plone CVS activity we have gone over 1000 commits. This means absolutely nothing - but its a fun number anyway.

Since CMF 1.3 is released we made this release. This was a quick release that has some "guts lying on the table" but is important for people to give us their feedback. We have cleaned up lots of bugs. You only need CMF 1.3 tarball and Plone now. No more CVS chasing.

In effort to release early, release often and speed up the march to Plone 1.0 official release, we have released the first alpha of 1.0. This has tons of changes. We do not have 0.9 (Bola release) migration scripts. Please do a clean install. Requires CMF1.3b2 and Zope2.5.1 or later.

plone.org now runs the CVS version of Plone, and we need your help to discover any remaining bugs.

As Christmas draws closer, we are proud to announce the first Release Candidate for Plone. If we get positive feedback from this release and migrations are smooth - this will be 1.0!

Plone beta 2 was officially released today.

The beta 3 release of Plone is out. A lot of bug fixes, internationalization updates, Xopus technology preview, and workflow has been made more robust. Plone developers to attend the Zope 3 Sprint in Rotterdam.
