• Simplified distribution

• audio/video files as enclosures in an RSS/Atom feed

• Subscribe once and forget about it

• On-demand

• Users can listen/watch your multimedia content on their device of choice

• Don’t need to visit your website

Challenges of large filesUploading and Storing

Pain points

• Uploading large files is tedious

• ZODB is currently not designed to store large files

Making upload less tedious

• WebDAV/FTP

• gives you progress bar but it can be buggy

• PloneJUpload - java applet

• not all browsers have Java support

PloneJUpload

Preferred upload solutions

• ZipFileTransport

• upload a Zip file and it’s extracted on the server

• PloneFlashUpload

• upload multiple files using Flash widget in browser

• Tramline

• bypass Zope and use Apache

PloneFlashUpload

Easy install

• Automated install using buildout:

• Downloads and installs:

• Zope, Plone, PIL, add-on products

• Creates Plone instance

• Quickinstalls Plone4Artists products

• Applies GenericSetup profile (TODO)

• Imports sample content using gsxml (TODO)

Buildout makes it easyCheck out the buildout, bootstrap and run buildout

$ svn co http://plone4artists.org/svn/projects/p4a.buildout

$ cd p4a.buildout

$ python bootstrap.py

$ bin/buildout -v (go get a coffee)

Start the instance

$ bin/instance fg
