Overview

Plone Software Center is a tool to keep track of software projects and
software releases, and is used to power the Products download area on
plone.org.

It was formerly called ArchPackage.

Installation

Install as a usual Plone Product. If you have Plone Help Center
installed, you get the ability to add documentation objects inside
the Software Projects.

- Requires Plone (3.0 or higher).

- Requires DataGridField (1.6.0-beta2 or higher).

- Requires AddRemoveWidget (1.0-beta3 or higher).

- Requires ArchAddOn (1.0-beta2 or higher).

- (Optionally requires) contentratings
(https://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/contentratings/trunk/)
This makes PSCProject ratable.

- (Optionally requires) ExternalStorage (svn trunk) if you want files stored on FS
instead of in the ZODB.

- (Optionally requires) PloneHelpCenter (1-5-beta3 or higher) to provide project-specific help
containers.

Note for pre-1.0 users

- Plone Software Center 1.0 switched to BTree-based containers for the projects
and Improvement Proposals. This means that any 0.9-based instance (or earlier)
have to reinstall and create a new instance of the project area, since the
storages are incompatible. Sorry about the inconvenience.
