That plug-in would be a wonder, and probably the reason why Scoop in its present form will only last another 12 months at most.

I've been re-reading 'TOOLS FOR CHANGE' - An invitation to dance ISBN 1-904235-55-7. IMO we should all have a look at this book, because it outlines the dynamics and development of communities. I was sent a copy by a member of ET, and the insights I have gained from this book are alone worth all the hours, days and weeks I have spent here ;-)

Hopefully, if TGB and I can get our act together (with the other contributors to ET-TV), we might be able to buy some commercial software that would enable all we wish to do.

No need to buy software ; we can either switch to another free content management software or, migration being such a hassle, update our software. I'm a coder and ready to participate, and I'd bet I'm not the only one (although I'd need to learn some stuff about webcoding, it'd be the perfect occasion)

The biggest problem with Scoop is lack of internationalisation, and the fact that it's written in PERL.

Personally, I would suggest cloning the scoop functionality we like on top of Zope/Plone/CPS.

I am SURE you are not the only one ;-) And we all need each other. Bringing different skills together. Isn't that how the Amish buíld barns? ;- )

We've had this discussion a few times. Our Dear Leader has admitted to knowing nothing about coding. I am not sure we have any technically literate people aboard in admin, other than our champagne socialist.

But in the broader 1000+ community of ET we have quite a few minds that can blow minds. The question is: how can we put these minds together?

IMO the search for that process: putting minds together, is the WHOLE point of ET. Bringing in the minds has, apparently, not been the problem. Getting these minds to work together  is the problem. And to do that, you need tools...
