ROT, Very OT - Plone

"Well you need some Perl scripts Guvnor" Presumably you have a structure that can provide rules to process the files.

I have a similar problem with a HiperGate project I got into about a month ago. Thus far I am having 'orrible fun with Java, PostGre SQl, TomCat and Apache. Just over a month ago I hadn't heard of three of them.

Plone is 'well f*cking neat dewd' - according to a chap I know who knows about these things. There are Plone UGs (user groups - a bit like Linux User Groups - LUGs). Better still, find your local LUG and then mention Plone (for a busy note taking evening, that is...)

Better still, simply install it and play for a few hours. It'll install on pretty much anything - so if you have an old P1 box collecting dust, why not use that? You'll also get and understanding of Zope and Python - so you could start your own Mailman list about it (ooooh.... bitch...) :-)

I'd say he's right.

Wasn't planning on using Linux. Sorry...

Windows version I'm playing with doesn't seem 100% bug free though, but it could be the s***ty machine I'm playing with it on.

Now I've changed the editor it doesn't seem too bad to cut and paste a lot of the 'text only' pages. That still leaves the images to worry about though.

I'm also concerned by the lack of an obvious 'directory structure' that I could back up and store under my pillow and feel I had a useable copy of everything. Even our super-whizzy database-driven WMS allows the boss to take his stockfile home in Notepad or Excel every evening if it makes him feel good!

Yeah, been doing that. And then a few more hours.

Big learning curve! It's only fairly recently that I've realised the bleeding obvious - it has its own webserver, so isn't using IIS at all. And thus it's likely to f*ck up our existing Cobalt servers if I try to fiddle with it on there.

XP doesn't like P1's much :-).
