Plone undoubtedly has lots of features, but I find it quite difficult to use. I think others do to since we are only using the simplest features that something like WordPress would provide. Maybe its possible to make this plone site easier to use, that I don't know. But I think its a big issue that keeps the site from being all that it could.
From my experience with Drupal, my guess is that it would take 40 hours of work to get the setup working better. Basically there are far too many options right now. It should be greatly simplified so that you don't have to learn all the details of Plone in order to do anything with the site.
That's my two bits.

Hello,
I am back on list, so maybe its time to introduce me, it was my silly idea to use Plone/Zope since some years, since I used it in an elaerning archive project http://iaem.at/ and now was busy to update this site to new version, also it was my silly idea to do an pd-list this is now 10 years ago.
Anyhow Plone/Zope can be made simple or complicated, there are nice documents about skinning:
http://plone.org/documentation/tutorial/creating-custom-style
even the whole docu-engine http://plone.org/documentation with doing FAQs, Tutorials, HowTos and Glossary could be used on purdata site, since only needed to be installed, but
Who does the content work oder reviewing of content ?
There are also Forum Products, but anyhow, each item (entry) can be commented like in an forum on the site.
Georg Holzmann is just finishing a streaming product for plone, so audio and videos can be stored file-based and streamed.
another thing is we have ca. 300GB from pd-convention lectures, audios lying on the server, but not usable since nobody did a authoring work for this.
The main resource we need is man power doing the work. The idea using plone was that deligating of sections etc on the site is easy, also a lot of sites use it so it is quite secure.
So please just write on the Wiki http://puredata.org/dev/pd_webwiki/ FrontPage your suggestion. I hope I can help realizing this issues in the near future, since anyway we have to update the site to Plone2.5 soon.

I looked up Zope after that mail and got the joke: Plone is based on Zope.

Adrian: i think hans just wanted to point out, that you should answer to the list instead of a single person, especially if the recipient of your email is not the interrogator. (you were answering one of my statements in a private email to hans)

IOhannes: is it necessary to know zope/bash in order to rearange plone?
oh no, not again: this was a joke, or choke. you don't need to know bash nor zope nor plone (though the latter ought to help)
