Motivation

Boilerplate from template generators like ZopeSkel is nice, but not quite as nice as real, but generic, examples.

In the same way the collective developer's manual (http://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/collective.developermanual/trunk/) aims to document every single occurence along the way to Plone coding zen, collective.package aims to code it then release it as an installable add-on.

Installation

You may install this add-on via Buildout, like so:

[buildout]
extends = http://dist.plone.org/release/4.0.2/versions.cfg
versions = versions
parts = plone

[plone]
recipe = plone.recipe.zope2instance
user = admin:admin
eggs =
    Plone
    collective.package

Usage

This package contains code examples for common add-on package tasks in Plone. For example, creating a Python package that "shows up" as an installable add-on in the Plone control panel. Or installing an authentication plugin.

Examples

Here is a list of examples:

• How do I make my package "show up" in Plone? Use the Quick Installer of course.
• How do I create an authentication plugin? Use the Pluggable Auth Service, of course.
