Plone didn't exactly rise to the top at opensourcecms.org, but since you saw fit to plug it, I'll give it a chance. I'm not familiar with Zope at all. Isn't it an Apache *alternative*? > If you want to stay on the Java side, you could check out Jakarta > Slide, which calls itself a "low-level content management > framework". But that does sound a bit low-level to me. I thought the same thing. I was thinking of trying it anyway, but I think Magnolia and OpenCMS might be based on it - Magnolia is extremely rich in features, and looks very clean. > I'm not generally keen on large Perl and PHP suites, even though I've > written some myself.

I've never written PHP, but I've written some perl mods. Still, I suppose I should keep an open mind with them, if only to see if they can beat out the JSP kits. Thanks for the feedback.
