Really Great Content Management System -- Plone Content Management Systems

I had never heard of this before, but it is an open source content management system (written in Python). But it is all web-based. So you basically just adjust a bunch of forms and then the system creates the web site for you. There is an out-of-the-box look to it, but it can be totally customized.

Something to look into if you need a quick cms!

Just went through the Plone site and I must say that although it looks simple, there's a lot to be said about it's functionality. Basically, it's looks great for uploading content into a preformatted display and looks to be customizable as far as the way the viewer sees the display. On the baseline though, it's a link management system leading to an organized way of displaying content.

In most CMS, the stuff that really makes the package truely adaptable is add-on plugins that put in, enhance or adapt functionality. In the case of Plone, there are a group of developers who've massed together a few ready to go scripts and bundled them into a single download called the 'Plone Collective' which is available here.
