I run the Fedora Unity zope/plone stuff. I have offered my help but have
never gotten access to the ZMI and/or made any progress on expressing
Fedora Unity has already learned many lessons about using Plone and what
*not* to do. I also have been working to package plone-ldap which would
be all that is needed to get Plone 2.5 with PAS authenticating from
LDAP. For example, the Fedora Unity sites use Fedora Directory Server
and I set that up. The systems are not yet packaged.. but need to be. I
offer my help and experience.
