| What can I expect to cover? |
Plone is a powerful and flexible content management system (CMS) for building and maintaining web sites. With Plone not only is content editing easy, but it also does a great deal of "behind the scenes" work, like generating navigation menus and allowing for collaborative editing, enabling users to focus on the most important aspect of their site content.
There is a major project underway to move HTML-based University sites into Plone.
