Plone

Anybody know anything about Plone? Is it easy to learn? Or easy only if I already know Python (I don't)? Good web primers?

Boss is thinking of asking me to attend a week-long Plone boot camp, but I don't even have beginner's knowledge.

Plone is very easy to work with, from the little I've done with it in the past. Interesting CMS, but didn't fit my needs. Still, I'd jump at the chance to go to a week long Plone camp. What do I have to do to work for your boss? *grin*

Curiosity; why Plone? Or maybe I mean to ask, for what problem is Plone the answer?

It's for managing the content on our Intranet - and I'm not sure what the problem is, per se, or whether Plone has the answer. The guy who set up the Intranet (owner's son, so can do no wrong in his eyes) is no longer working for us, and didn't document his criteria or his scripts. The boot camp would be so that Sheila and I could learn enough to figure out what RJ was intending, and repair some things that got left half-implemented.
