Ploneboard is an easy to use web board. It uses the proven Plone user interface, and is made for easy integration into Plone sites. The target audience is businesses and developers wanting a discussion board in their Plone site.

Ploneboard aims to do one thing, and do it well. It will never be an over-the-top all-bells-and-whistles message board, but will stay minimal in the sense that it's living inside an existing content management system - and will leverage that to the fullest extent possible.

Visit Ploneboard_ in the products area on plone.org_ for more information.

Ploneboard is sponsored by the Consumer Council of Norway, Marshall Mayer, LiveModern and various generous contributors
