Description

 http://plone.org/products/plone/roadmap/233

In the installers, the buildout config file should contain a couple of products that exemplify how you install things using it. These are commented out, but easy to enable. It's important that these products are neutral, community-owned, maintained and useful products.

Definitions

Motivation

  1. It will provide a quick way to enable frequently used add-ons.
  2. It will show how to use buildout to add products.

Assumptions

Proposal

  1. Determination of a list of candidate products, both functionality and development.
  2. Development of clear, unambiguous text for comments.
  3. Implementation in the major installers and ZopeSkel's P3 template.

Implementation

See the Unified Installer trunk, particularly  http://svn.plone.org/svn/plone/Installers/UnifiedInstaller/trunk/standalone_template/buildout.cfg for initial implementation.

Hopefully, the framework team will help pick products. Good candidates could include:

Commonly used products:

Products.LinguaPlone Products.CacheSetup Products.PloneHelpCenter Products.PloneFormGen

Commonly used development tools:

Products.Clouseau Products.DocFinderTab plone.reload

I propose as minimum criteria that the products are available as eggs and have stable releases. Deliverables

Risks

Including add-ons in buildout, even in comments, may create a presumption that the products are part of Plone and that we're committed to their maintenance.

The risk may be mitigated with careful choice of add-ons and good language. Progress log

Sample implementation in  http://svn.plone.org/svn/plone/Installers/UnifiedInstaller/trunk/standalone_template/buildout.cfg
