Hawthorn, Open Source TeamGoogle recently hosted the
Plone Documentation and
E-Commerce Sprint, and more than forty stalwart sprinters got some amazing things
accomplished in just five days. The documentation team completely revamped the
project documentation hosted at
Plone.org, so any newbies out there should now find
it much easier to get started using Plone. They docs team also created a great deal of new
documentation focused on
Plone
3.0, which should be leaving Beta soon.
The E-Commerce team
spent their time making improvements to
GetPaid, Plone's payment processing
framework. Led by
Kapil
Thangavelu, core contributor to Plone and
Zope, the team finished out the week with three
payment processors, including
Google
Checkout, integrated into the framework. They also added shipping functionality to
ease the order fulfillment process. Even cooler, the team started off their work with code
targeted towards helping non-profits easily take donations through their Plone-based websites,
and mission accomplished!
Congratulations to both teams for their many
accomplishments during the sprint! Thanks to all of you for being our guests.
