Plone and the rest of the field
Friendly URLs
Had that for a long time thanks
to Zope
Repository Search
Default search certainly isn't bad
Not much in the way of
facetted search out of the box
Tagging story could use
quite a bit of work
Dependency Tracking
New link protection system was
one of the examples!
It could be easier to know where a given piece
of content is used around your site in the case
of collage
System Management
Generic Setup Rocks
Policy Products are a great
idea/innovation
I've conflated this with
Configuration Management
Management Metrics
Plone could use some work here
There are collections for creating "queues"
based on workflow state and expired
content
This feature could bring lots of
interesting capabilities
Other interesting notes
The ECM->WCMS
convergence dream
appears to have died
Lots of vendors are pulling the
"social" out of their WCMS
Open Source is likely not going
to be a separate category
anymore -- FOSS is like any
other vendor
Word Conversion
There's Enfold Desktop
In general, it just sucks everywhere; people
don't use word well, and word makes a mess of
markup
True Multi-Site management
Big strides here with 3.3 and Lineage
Non-browser clients
Again, there's Enfold Desktop
Otherwise, not so much
Usability
This has always been one of
Plone's strong points
We have great consistency and a
content model that people easily
grasp
Should get stronger in Plone 4
Advanced configuration often means diving
into the ZMI, which scares nontechnical users
badly and feels very 1997
Integrated Traffic Analysis
We let people add Google
Analytics code to pages, and it
stops there
Configuration Management
for Business People
Again, we have Generic Setup,
which is a good start
Exports XML, which we expect
business people can learn to
edit
