Well, the reason I ask is that I am currently a *semi* Plone developer.  
I'm not very good at it, but I'm learning.  I have some future plans in 
that area and I already have some low level success providing the Sword 
API to the internals of Plone.  I asked my question to flush out any 
potential collaborators.

For those following along, Plone is a CMS written on top of Zope.  Its a 
web server written in Python built on top of an object oriented 
database.  Lots of goodies and neat stuff, though a bit unwieldy at times.
