Description: Singing and Dancing
        ===================
        
        What is it?
        -----------
        
        *Singing and Dancing* is the next generation newsletter Product for
        Plone.  It's an out of the box solution that works without
        modification for most of your use cases.  And should you find
        something that Singing and Dancing can't do, it's built to be easily
        extended via plug-ins using the Zope 3 Component Architecture.
        
        Singing and Dancing is still under heavy development.  We consider it
        stable, but there are going to be API changes in the future.
        
        Features
        --------
        
        Modern and extensible
        Singing and Dancing builds on the latest and greatest efforts in the
        Zope and Plone world.  It makes heavy use of the excellent
        ``z3c.form`` library and the Zope 3 Component Architecture.  This
        allows you to easily plug in and extend Singing and Dancing to fit
        your needs.
        
        Well tested
        An extensive suite of automated tests make Singing and Dancing
        exceptionally stable and reliable.  We currently have 200+ tests.
        Singing and Dancing is not gonna leave you in the lurch!
        
        Fully managable through the Plone interface
        Singing and Dancing is fully usable out the web.  An extensive set
        of forms reachable through the configuration panel let you as the
        user configure many details of your newsletters, like *when* they're
        sent (periodically or manually), *what* is sent (through the use of
        the *Smart Folder* interface, or manually), and to whom.
        
        Subscriptions
        Singing and Dancing uses *confirmed subscription*, i.e. subscribers
        receive an e-mail to confirm their subscription.  Users can
        subscribe via a standard subscription form that lists all available
        newsletters in the site, or through individual subscription forms,
        e.g. in portlets.
        
        Future
        ``````
        A couple of features that we're going to implement in the near future:
        
        Newsletter templates
        Take complete control over how the newsletters look that are sent
        out.  Create your own template or one of the templates that come
        pre-installed with the Singing and Dancing.  Manage newsletter
        templates in a pool for easy reuse.
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        For deploying Singing and Dancing in production, you want to use a
        buildout_.  A buildout for the development of Singing and Dancing
        itself is available at:
        
        https://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/collective.dancing/trunk-buildout
        
        This buildout includes the development versions of the
        ``collective.singing`` and ``collective.dancing`` packages.  For
        production use, you can start by copying the buildout.cfg from this
        development buildout, but modify it to not use development versions
        but eggs from the CheeseShop.  To do this, remove this section::
        
        develop =
        src/collective.singing
        src/collective.dancing
        
        Of course you can just add these two packages to your already existing
        buildout or to your Repoze_ setup.  When using Buildout, make sure you
        use the fakezope2eggs_ recipe to avoid downloading incompatible
        versions of Zope 3 packages into your buildout.
