Plone 2.0 Released
Alexander Limi writes "Over a year in development, the Plone Team released the 30+ language strong Plone 2.0 to the public today. It's been a fun year, with a number of surprises - coming out on top of O'Reilly's Open Source at COMDEX vote, powering the Mars Rover site and a lot of positive mainstream press. And the invaluable recognition of becoming recognized as a real word by Google *wink*. A detailed summary of what's new in the 2.0 release is available, and as usual all platforms have dedicated packages/installers that will get you up and running in 10 minutes. Enjoy!"
Why not explain what the subject of the article actually is?
Not everybody is familiar with every software project.
And consider that this site may occasionally be visited by non-nerds. If they can skip the stories they don't care about, they may read the others (and make informed decisions about software, stop supporting the RIAA, etc). But if they'll be unable to even understand what the stories mean, they're much more likely to leave, never to return.
Just adding "Plone, the content management system for the Zope application server" will at least make enough sense to let people know if they'd be interested in reading any further, instead of making them think "I didn't even know he was arrested".
