Postings, bug reports, and feature requests from my efforts to use Plone 6 + Volto as it was being released.
About
Searching for alternatives to the antiquated version of the Plone platform on which I had been running my website, I needed some features not provided by free commercial options. Wanting to leverage my former acquaintance with Plone, I found (and find) the blocks-organized approach of the Volto frontend very promising and worth some effort.
The effort has been more than I bargained for, but the platform is proving to be worth the while. Plus I'm glad to be getting acquainted with the some contemporary technologies – containers (Docker), React and React Semantic UI, refreshing my familiarity with Zope and Plone, various web technologies – javascript, HTML, CSS, npm & all that, browser dev tools, and of course, continuing to exercise my Python and Unix/Linux familiarity.
As I proceeded I eventually started to collect my bug reports and community help requests and suggestions in my platform trial instances, as a way to test and examine features along the way. I have maintained and solidified that tracking, and thus have a kind of account of my journey, helpful to me for following up and potentially providing useful information for others.
