Plone
Plone is a downloadable content management system built on the powerful and free Zope application server. It is easy to set up, extremely flexible, and provides tools for managing content of large websites, extranets and intranets, government and educational sites and even social networking sites. Plone is built under the GNU General Public License the same license used by Linux.
Plone is among the top 2% of all open source projects worldwide, with 200 core developers and more than 300 solution providers in 57 countries. The project has been actively developed since 2001, is available in more than 40 languages, and has the best security track.
Key Features
Open-source CMS : Plone is an open-source downloadable content management system helping to create powerful and secure websites.
Right Tools : Plone provides numerous out-of-the-box and add-on tools that make working with content easier. These include kupu, the powerful visual editor built into Plone, and PloneFormGen, a tool for creating quick and easy forms. Plone also includes the ability to integrate with other open source tools, databases, page compositors, e-commerce solutions, and more.
Easy to install : You can install Plone by going to plone.org/products/plone and downloading the Plone installer that is the right option for you. Simply run the installer, follow the README.txt, and you will have a working content management system in minutes.
Easy to use : Plone's development team has usability experts who have made it simple for content managers to add, update, and maintain content.
Secure : Plone has had only one security-related patch in the last two years. The difference is that Plone runs on Python, which is markedly safer. Having a secure CMS is critical, and Plone is clearly the frontrunner here.
Zope (Z Object Publishing Environment)
Plone uses the Zope Application Server as a platform. Zope provides various basic and advanced services to applications built on top of it. Plone runs as an application on Zope and uses these services.
Zope is a next-generation Open Source application server and portal toolkit developed by Zope Corporation. It runs on nearly all UNIX platforms as well as Windows NT and can be used with most popular web servers or its own built in web server. Zope is written (and extensible) with a powerful object-oriented programming language, Python.
Zope comes with a built-in object database called ZODB(Zope Object Database).
The ZODB is an object-oriented database for transparently and persistently storing Python objects. It can store not only content and custom data, but also dynamic HTML templates, scripts, a search engine, and relational database (RDBMS) connections and code. It is included as part of the Zope web application server, but can also be used independently of Zope. Features of the ZODB include: transactions, history/undo, transparently pluggable storage, built-in caching, multi-version concurrency control (MVCC), and scalability across a network (using ZEO).
Python
Python is the language of Zope. Modifications to Zope or Plone tend to require python knowledge.
Python is an easy to learn, powerful programming language. It has efficient high-level data structures and a simple but effective approach to object-oriented programming. Python’s elegant syntax and dynamic typing, together with its interpreted nature, make it an ideal language for scripting and rapid application development in many areas on most platforms.
