Wow!!! What can I say? I am impressed. Went on over to plone.org and downloaded Plone 3. Got full text indexing even into pdf and doc files. Very nice. Download it, extract it and run the script:
install.sh standalone
The great thing about it is that if you do that as a normal user, it will do a local install into your home directory. I find this useful since right now I just want to try it out a bit. The install script will compile it and install it all nice and shiny. In the end it will even give you what is the admin password you'll have to use to log into the system.
So once it is done, go on over to the directory you've just installed Plone and type:
zinstance/bin/zopectl start
That would start up your Zope server with a default instance of Plone. If you didn't change any of the configuration that was mentioned after the install script you just open up a browser and head on over to http://localhost:8080/manage to access the administration part of Plone or http://localhost:8080/Plone to access the default instance of Plone. Look around. The interface is quite intuitive enough to get quite a lot of things done. I'm hoping to be able to do even more advance things with this software which I would be blogging about soon (I hope).
