1/19/05Gary Ganster I am interested in checking out the Plone as a document publishing system. What do I have to do to sign up and get an instance of Plone to experiment with.
1/19/05Kevin If you have a fermi kerberos principal, you should be able to log into https://plone3.fnal.gov/ with a kx509 certificate and automatically have a home area to test out plone. If that works and you want to go ahead with a project we can set up a separate instance for you, if needed, but we would rather not set up a separate instance just for testing if possible.

We are migrating the existing plone sites to a newer/faster server. They will be moving from plone3.fnal.gov to plone4.fnal.gov. There will be redirectors so the old URLs should continue to work indefinitely. In the future there will be an alias set up so people will be able to publish links as plone.fnal.gov/XXX instead of plone4.fnal.gov/XXX.

There then follows a list of dates and sites that get moved, for each date.

The list of sites is:

AFEIIUpgrade, CDDH, dsg, Flare, HEPiX, IA, LSS, main, QuarkNet, test, d0wiki, DES, Lambda, OPSCIGRID, SAMGrid, GCSC, scientificlinux, WinForms, WinPol

On behalf of NOvA I am investigating Plone and Zwiki within Plone. In exchanges with the Help Desk, and the experts that they refer things to, it was suggested that I should make use of this email group.

I have experimented with adding a Wiki page to a sub-folder of my home page. When I do so I get the following message:

Insufficient Privileges You do not have sufficient privileges to view this page. If you believe you are receiving this message in error, please send an e-mail to

csi-group@fnal.gov.

The url in my browser at that point is

https://plone4.fnal.gov/P1/Main/insufficient_privileges

Any advice is welcome--regarding why I get this message and what I should do about it.

I've been keeping notes at

http://home.fnal.gov/~wehmann/oddball/wiki_plone.html

which displays the current state of what I know and what I don't know. I haven't yet found a good local guide for newbies.

Because of some oddities with how plone, zope and zwiki interact, you need manager access on a folder to be able to create a zwiki page. The home folders on plone are created with only owner access, so creating zwiki pages fails.

To work around this, we have created a top level "Wiki" folder in the main plone site. If you would like a subfolder there to try out zwiki, just let me know what you would like it called.
