Adding Plone Products To Content Management Software Info

Having become more or less familiar with Plone, I've learned the basic things about Plone products as well. At first I grasped that if you want to view all Plone products which are at your disposal, all you need to do is to get into the Site Setup and then into Add/Remove Products. After that you are free to select the product you want by pressing the install button. Vice versa, if there is some product you don't need, you can simply remove it with the help of the uninstall button.
In case the product you terribly need isn't in the list of your products, you''ll definitely have to go directly to plone.org  or Content Management Software Info and select it for download from the list of all registered plone products.

There was one more thing about Plone products I had to learn in Quintagroup. You see, offering a wide range of Plone services, Plone products development being one of them, Quintagroup really needs to keep a centralized database of useful add-on products for Plone. If you take a fresh look at it from the distance, you'll see that it's not really a piece of cake. With this never-ending flood of new releases of Plone products it's always hard to keep up. Now I know how to do it. And although it does take pretty much time, it proves to be worth it in the end. The problem which can arise from time to time is that not each Plone product developer gives enough information about their products. Sometimes you just have to guess not only under what license the product was released, but also somehow find out in what Plone versions it can be used. It may even be funny after all! Being a kind of a Plone detective...
