Future of Plone
A roadmap was released last week for no less than three upcoming versions of Plone. Details include an upcoming maintenance release (2.1.3 -- notably with better WebDAV support), the next infrastructure release (2.5), and the next major release (3.0). Plone has a large and diverse community, but it seems that project co-founder Alexander Limi -- who came out with this technology vision -- remains a forceful leader. Still, the power of the community has been illustrated nicely in the Plone 3.0 discussion thread, which has evolved into a nice discussion of AJAX frameworks and which approach Plone should adopt.
