Hi all,
we're happy to let you know that the next major release of Plumi is  
almost ready. A second tagged release candidate is available from svn  
here

Plumi 0.2 includes a number of feature additions, bug fixes and  
enhancements including

-  template improvements that are plone 3 ready resulting in faster  
page loads - using zope 3 style development practices
- improvements in catalog searching e.g video listings no longer wake  
the objects from the zope database (ZODB)
- enhanced comment functionality using qPloneComments - http:// 
projects.quintagroup.com/products/wiki/qPloneComments
- upgraded to 2.5.4 (plone 3.x coming soon)
- transcoding from '.m4v','.ogm','.ogg','.divx' to Flash video
- full screen flash video playback using FlowPlayer
- a new design (thanks trollfot!)
- a new "callouts" content item for submission requests for film  
festivals etc.
- replacement of TagCloudExplorer with Vaporisation - resulting in  
much nicer tagging system
- addition of news/events/callouts and comments portlets to right nav.

You can see the change log here
http://dev.plone.org/collective/browser/Plumi/trunk/CHANGELOG.txt

And a testing site with the improvements here: http://testing.plumi.org

Once we have a 0.2 final http://demo.plumi.org will be updated. We're  
aiming for a final release before the end of the year.

== Plumi Buildout ==
A buildout is now also available for Plumi 0.1-final. A buildout puts  
together Zope, Plone, the third-party products and all customisations  
into one package. This makes it very easy for you to get everything  
up and running very quickly.

You can read more about buildouts here: http://plone.org/ 
documentation/tutorial/buildout

== Get Involved ==
You can find us in irc.freenode.net #plumi or via the discuss list:  
http://lists.plumi.org/listinfo/discuss
There's a lot to do so we're always looking for more people to get  
involved. For a list of current tickets see: http://plumi.org/report/3
