Anyone who cares about how the workflow progresses should play around with the 
Plone site a bit and bring their questions back here.  As they determine 
areas where Plone is lacking, we (I) can work to fix those areas.  Basically, 
those who are qualified to further expand our Plone solution need to learn 
what is needed from those who are qualified to establish our Documentation 
needs and specify tools.  I suspect that all key members of the Fedora 
Documentation Project will have something to add.  As such, I'm CC-ing 
fedora-docs-list with this message.

So far, my favorite guide for getting started with Plone is "The Definitive 
Guide to Plone":
