<title>Lampadas update</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>David Lawyer talked to David Merrill regarding Lampadas. David
|
|
Merrill is still working on Lampadas. Lampadas now, is not really
|
|
"lampadas" but "plone". David's lampadas work consists of additions to
|
|
plone so that when it's done, lampadas will be part of plone. When it
|
|
gets done, we will just need to install plone and we will then have
|
|
lampadas. He estimated it will be in Beta in about 6 months from now.
