CMF Object Types appropriate to Education

question: Howto instructions for converting regular zope object into CMF object?

Basic CMF objects to activate

• Make other CMF objects subject to Discussion (i.e. threaded comments) by clicking on portal_types and for each object, select Make Discussable
• Syndication which provides an RSS attribute which spits out RSS xml about what is available on that folder (see also XMLkit Product which has a nicely configurable RSSDocument which does the same sort of thing)

• Event Channel
• Ratings (requires Gideon)

Resources

• CMF Admin Guide
• Downloadable CMF content products
• Portal Content Folder
• Nux Document (transform word , pdf into html)
