[Product-Developers] Simple extension policy product doesn't show in Products

[rcecil]

Hi Maurits,

Thanks for the help.  Indeed what I was referring to was
portal_quickinstaller, at the Plone instance, not the Products in the Zope
root control panel. I'm not clear at this point why it shows up in the
latter and not the former. What defines what shows up in the Plone site?

Thanks
