ECM (Enterprise content management ) - is a set of technologies used to capture, store, preserve and deliver content and documents and content related to organizational processes. ECM tools allow the management of an organization's unstructured information, wherever that information exists.

It's been a busy summer for the Plone project. In particular, they put out a call for Plone Improvement Proposals (PLIPs) for Plone 4. They also split the initial vision for Plone 4 into a more do-able Plone 4 for this year and a more far-reaching update for Plone 5 slated for next year. Following the PLIP process, the Plone 4 Framework Team has polished off their list of what's to be included in this release.
Even with scaled back plans the Plone 4 team chose to include a record 40 improvement proposals.
The initial vision for Web CMS Plone 4 was so complex that it wasn't slated

New with 3.3: Features Added, Bugs FixedA number of enhancements and bug fixes are included with this release, such as:
One sign of a maturing Web CMS industry is the growth in CMS-oriented book titles. A small new publisher, "Packt," has emerged in the UK and taken a strong content management focus. In a marketplace with a lot of theoretical offerings, Packt has some very practical and specific titles in its pipline, e.g. "Content Management with Plone" and "Building Intranets with Open Source Content Management Systems." Don't rush to Amazon, because none of these books have hit the presses yet, and we have no idea whether Packt will survive in a very tough publishing market. But its arrival seems like a good sign...See Packt's Book Line-up
