Plone
CMS system that is used to create, edit, and manage digital content, like websites, intranets, and custom solutions.
Developed outside the platforms our data source measures, so there is no activity history to score. This says nothing about the project — many unrated projects are actively maintained.

Is Plone actively maintained?
We cannot measure this one. Plone is developed outside the platforms our data source collects activity from, and its repository lives at github.com — so there is no commit history or release cadence here to score.
Read that as missing data, not as a warning. Several of the best-maintained projects in this catalogue are unrated for exactly this reason. To judge it, open the repository and look at the date of the most recent commit yourself.
What Plone actually does
Plone is a content management system designed for authoring, editing, and administering digital content such as public websites and internal intranets. It runs as a Python application and can be containerised using Docker for deployment on your own infrastructure. The platform provides structured workflows for managing web publications and custom digital solutions.
Best fit: It is a suitable option if you need an established Python-based framework for structured document publishing and internal intranet management.
Worth knowing: The ZPL-2.0 licence carries specific legal terms that you should review before distribution, and the lack of recent repository activity suggests you may need to rely heavily on community support or self-maintenance.
Deployment notes
As a Python web application packaged via Docker, you will typically need to configure persistent volume storage for uploaded content and place it behind a reverse proxy to handle TLS termination.
