Thanks. I keep hearing stuff like "Zope/Plone is not really a CMS, it's 
a platform for building a CMS". Could you offer any insight into that?

No-one is saying such to criticize Z/P, but they seem to be saying that 
it takes a fair bit of work before you can get down to the business of 
building your site.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Thanks,
