EngageMedia is very excited to announce the first beta release of Plumi, a GPL licensed video sharing Content Management System based on Plone. Plumi enables you to create your own sophisticated video sharing site; by adding it to an existing Plone instance you can quickly have a wide array of functionality to facilitate video distribution and community creation.
Plumi [P(lone) Lumi(iere)] is based on the Plone Content Management System and enables a wide array of functionality including:

These features are in addition to the already feature rich Plone system.
Plumi is the system that currently runs http://engagemedia.org - a video sharing site focussed on social and environmental issues in Southeast Asia, Australia and the Pacific. EngageMedia is an Australian based media/tech activist collective that develops Plumi and runs the EngageMedia.org site.
For more information about Plumi see our README or product page on Plone.org:
