I'm with Richard here. Until reading Andy's post, I had the vague 
impression that plone is a "graphically souped up" CMF, or an  "example" 
application with some content_types added - please, I do not want to do 
unjustice to plone developers here, just trying to bring a point across.

I went to plone.org and didn't really find something which explained the 
added value relative to CMF - or at least the difference to CMF.


Is there such a document?
