Is Plone going to develop into a Community Plumbing Platform ? Will it have h
as standard the features that Non-Profits nead to build a constituency ?
Or should it just remain focussed on doing one job well ? Content Management.
In just a few years, the Non Profit world has adopted Content Management.
(BTW was heartened to only discover this week ...

That one site - sponsored by OneWorld South Asia- is hosting at least 53
Plone based websites for Non Profits. )
Content Management was all the rage 4 years ago. But now, for most Non
Profits it's a case of "been there, done that". The future buzz is
elsewhere. The focus is moving from publishing, through to collaboration,
through to enabling learning journeys.
So what do people think ? Is Plone the right platform on which to build
communities ? Because I've heard that we should really just focus on what
Plone does well, and that's content management. :-)
