Be practical. You are asking to write a Django application and start customizing it by writing code and take the headache of maintaining it? >> Setting up Plone and customizing is not very easy.

The person behind Plone might be a wiz and it might be possible to build super-powerful websites using Plone. But Drupal beats Plone when it comes to setting up simple websites like a conference website and customizing look and feel. >From the appearance I can immediately say that http://www.eiao.net/ is running on Plone. It has a typical Plone look. I couldn't say that scipy.in is running on Drupal just from it look and feel. Btw, some part or whole of scipy.in is running on Django. http://scipy.in/scope Anand _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
