If you're seeing this instead of the web site you were expecting, the owner of this web site has just installed Plone. Do not contact the Plone Team or the Plone mailing lists about this.

Get Started

Before you start exploring your newly created Plone site, please do the following:

1. Make sure you are logged in as an admin/manager user (you should see a Site Setup link in the top right corner)

2. Set up your mail server (Plone needs a valid SMTP server to verify users and send out password reminders)
3. Specify an owner for the site (From address on mail, contact address)

After that, we suggest you do one or more of the following:

• Find out What's new in Plone 2.5
• Read the documentation, especially the What documentation should I read and Server setup recommendations
• Explore the available add-on products for Plone
• Read and/or subscribe to the support forums
