Forkd gets the elevator pitch treatment over at the PDA blog. And a stumping great picture of me. Which is nice (if you like pictures of people in suits looking simultaneously smug and stoned, that is).
This thread over at AskMeFi (Plone vs. Drupal) is surprising in its vociferous hatred of Plone. Part of me really wants to get involved; wade in on behalf of Plone and explain exactly why Drupal is a labyrinthine mess… But… I can’t. The last week I’ve been struggling to get to grips with Plone 3.x. It’s been really tough. Today is not the day to defend something that’s been pissing me off constantly for the last week.
Right now I’d be happy for any alternative on the Python CMS front (Exotypes, anyone?). If this is the way Plone is going I’m not sure I want to follow any more.
They are indeed. My beta invite to Lovely Charts turned up today, and I have to say it’s about as awesome as I had hoped. Proper Visio-esque drag-and-drop chart, wireframe, and network diagram generation all within the browser. Yes it’s still beta (there’s no print, for example) but it’s really rather fine.
