Well, this has been an on-again, off-again side project of mine that is not only “on” now but has officially, well and truly launched:

plone4lib mailing list and plone4lib website

I’d like to thank my partner in crime, Jodi Schneider, for prompting me post-code4lib conference and for her valuable input in creating the site.

So, please, spread the word! All types of librarians/libraries using or interested in Plone are welcome!

And here’s the complete announcement, for the curious:

Greetings!

We’re writing to invite you to get involved with plone4lib. We’re a small online community using the open-source Plone content management system in libraries.

Please visit http://plone4lib.org to read about how libraries around the world are using Plone, or add your own Plone-based library site.
You can also join the plone4lib listserv:

http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/plone4lib

Inspired by a code4lib09 breakout session, and in the model of the drupal4lib community, we seek to share information and ideas about using Plone in libraries. We’re inviting anyone using or interested in using Plone in libraries to join the site and contribute content:

-Add your Plone-based library site to the World map
-Share your “Success Story”
-Introduce yourself on the mailing list, ask questions, and share ideas

We’re also looking for someone to design a banner for the site Full credit, etc will be given on the site and in the News section so give it a shot

Hope you’ll join us!
