To show the features of the Plone CMS in future screencasts, we need a site that shows off the Plone functionality. What good is searching, for example, if there are only a few documents? What good is templating if the site looks like Plone?

The ChefPlone project is an example site based around a fictitious online restaurant guide. This example site contains reviews of restaurants from around the world, organized by location and cuisine. ChefPlone shows how you can get value from Plone, out-of-the-box, with no add-on software:

  2. A large amount of imported content, courtesy of the ChefMoz directory project.

ChefPlone serves as the basis for a series of screencasts showing important features in the Plone CMS.
