Ok, I tried to setup the plumi "sandbox" again last night on the 
borderlands hacklab server, but the plumi install is trickier than i 
thought.

i have zope instaled and running, and I can go to ourserver:8080/manager

and see the nice three frame interface, which I'm assuming is the ZMI, 
but I don't see the "quick product install" part where I can install the 
plumi products. also, from the plumi documentation, it says to pick 3 
products, atvideo, plumiskin and pressroom but i only see pumiskin, and 
i just downloaded the latest plumi, unziped it and added its dir to the 
plone.conf and restarted plone.

can someome give me some direction here for setting up plumi?

when i go into the manager interface and try to pick a plone page, i 
jsut get a page of code starting with

('No traversable adapter found', {u'content': [('version', '1.6'), 
('mode', 'html'), ('setPosition', (99, 16)), ('setSourceFile',

i gather that the plone install isn't quite complete yet. i guess i'll 
start poring over the plone manual.

thanks!
