Open Letter to the Community. This is an Open Letter adressed to the Community and to Zope Corporation and the decisionmakers in the New Zope.Org project. [Zope.org]

Even if the debate about what to use for the new Zope.Org site doesn't interest you, the essay and the discussion thread that follows contains some interesting tidbits about Zope and Plone. If you have played around with Zope but have never tried Plone you have to check it out. If you need a basic CMS with a portal-ish interface it is hard to beat, particularly for zero acquisition cost.

Intranet Focus Blog.

"But admirable though that is it can be very difficult translating business objectives into information resource requirements and from that into how enhanced access to information will benefit the organisation. It really does need some form of information audit, and there is no better book than The Information Audit by Sue Henczel, K.G.Saur, 2001, ISBN 3-598-24367-7. An exceptional book, and should be mandatory reading for intranet managers. An audit will soon uncover all the evidence you need to justify an intranet without the need to purchase an abacus." [Tom's Blog]

IBM Eats Its Own Linux Cooking. VP Steve Mills says IBM's growing internal use of Linux proves the OS is rock solid and ready for even the most mission-critical applications. [Technology News from eWEEK and Ziff Davis]
