So the New Zealand companies office is advertising on their front page an Open Source CMS system called Plone.

What on earth is up with that?

It’s great that thy have enough self awareness to know what CMS system they use, but, is this really the sort of thing a Government department should be doing?

Maybe if they were using a New Zealand developed tool like from the guys at kick ass Wellington firm Silverstripe then at a REAL push this might be excusable behaviour, but, Plone is some foreign developed tool. To be honest no matter who or what the tool or vendor I think this is totally inappropriate.

Was this signed off by the MED PR folks?
Was this done by their internal IT team?
Was it a vendor that did it?
Is this appropriate for a Government department?
