>You liar! <br><br>I couldn't resist :-) You seem so entertained. Bit of sport and all that.<br><br>I've spoken to many people on various lists and can confirm the feeling about usability on the ZMI etc. You call them 'halfwits'. That puts you on rather high ground and this attitude is obviously part of the problem.
<br><br>How come Plone's interface is so useable and a delight to work with? How was that financed? <br><br><span class="q"><br>> who I have built sites for using Plone and on showing<br>> them the ZMI they have re-coiled in absolute horror.
<br><br></span>>>Sure it wasn't just your cack-handed coding? ;-)<br><span class="q"><br></span>>>> I haven't coded anything in the ZMI ! <br><br><br>>>They shouldn't be going to the ZMI if you've done your job properly with
<br>the Plohn interface..<br><br>>>>Wrong. There are many things you still have to do through the ZMI. Like changing the banner graphic on the site if you want to. Basic things like that. <br><br>>Guessing? Yay, just what you need from someone you're paying to develop
<br>>something...<br><br>>> Just a figure of speech in trying to be diplomatic. I shouldn't have bothered to be honest. <br><br>And as for the clients comment I'm not even going to go there. I have many highly satisfied clients. I hope you do as well but I doubt it with such an un-professional manner.
