I’m still having problems with the Kupu drawer which doesn’t seem to want to display the other objects that I’ve added to the site. I sent Godefroid (gotcha) a mail about this.

As Sidnei has done with Calendaring, I need to remind Godefroid to make a collector for CompositePack.

It seems as though this product will still not be something for artists to use, but limited to the webmaster of the site. I think it’s too complex for the average user. But perhaps with some pre-defined viewlets and tweaking the interface it can be made more end-user-friendly.

Calendaring gives you tight integration with iCal, so you can publish and subscribe to calendars that are hosted in a Plone site. This is an incredibly useful tool for artists and fans to communicate about the upcoming gigs.

I got an error message when clicking on the ‘Day’ view and reported this bug to the newly created collector. (Thanks Sidnei 😉

I posted a short report on my experiences in installing Calendaring in the Calendar Team area.

I checked out the product from Infrae’s SVN repository:

svn co http://codespeak.net/svn/rr/PloneRailroadVideoLibrary/trunk PloneRailroadVideoLibrary

Kit Blake from Infrae gave a talk about Railroad at the Plone conference in Vienna,but
unfortunately I was unable to attend because it was at the same time
that I was giving a lightning talk about Plone4Artists in the other
room. However, I sat down with Kit later to have a closer look at
Railroad. We quickly discovered that Railroad has some pretty demanding
dependencies, and the documentation on how to get it all set up is
sparse.

Fortunately, Jan Wijbrand Kolman had gotten it all set up on Kit’s Mac
laptop for demo purposes, and was available on IRC to assist me (“jw”
on #railroad).
