New Plone 3 delayed until July
After a few delays, the new version of Plone is due out quite soon. With significant user interface modifications, Plone is trying to address existing weaknesses while also adding new features.

The recently released Enterprise Portals Report takes a detailed and critical look at what's new in Plone 3.
