Nuxeo CPS 3.0 rc1 has been released

Nuxeo and the CPS team are happy to announce the first release candidate release of CPS3 - the next-generation collaborative portal server from Nuxeo.

Nuxeo CPS is an extensive collaborative Web content management system (CMS) implemented on top of Zope and the CMF, that enables organizations to easily, quickly and efficiently implement collaborative intranet, extranet or internet applications.

Download it on http://zope.org/Members/nuxeo/Products/CPS3. The prerequisites are Zope 2.6.1 or 2.6.2. Zope 2.6.3 and 2.6.4rc1 have bugs or API changes that prevent proper operation of CPS, but seem to be fixed in the CVS (so hopefully Zope 2.6.4 should be OK).

Discuss it on cps-devel (developers), cps-users (english-speaking users) and cps-users-fr (french-speaking users). Feel free to ask if you believe other language-specific mailing list are needed.

Follow the ongoing development on the CVS.

We wish to thank all the contributors and beta testers for their feedback.

We hope to be able to release a 3.0 final soon.

Tutorials and manuals should be available soon too.

If you can read this text, it means you are not experiencing the Plone design at its best. Plone makes heavy use of CSS, which means it is accessible to any internet browser, but the design needs a standards-compliant browser to look like we intended it. Just so you know ;)
