I’m really excited that Dave Fowler got funded by Google’s “Summer of Code” program to do some work on Plone’s comments system. It’s not received much attention in the past few releases, and although it’s still pretty solid, it’s starting to show some wear around the edges. With Plone 3.0 almost out the […]
