1. Decompress the ppm folder to your Plone instance products folder.

2. Download and extract these products from http://plone.org into your Plone instance Products folder and install them:

•  Poi 1.0rc2 (Issue Tracker)
•  Quills 0.9.1 (Blogger)
•  ZWiki 0.59.0 (Zope Wiki)
•  ZWikifolder 1.0.0 (Folder for Zope Wiki)

3. Install ppm

4. Create project portfolio in any desired folder to hold projects and proposals.

•  Modify properties in portfolio for local use

Note to developers: PPM is set up to allow for projects to contain Folders, Poi Issue Trackers, and Quills Weblogs. If you desire to allow additional or different types, you need to change the following:

1. portal_skins/ppm_projects

• customize python script getLocalSubFolderVocabulary to include desired type in returned list
  

2. portal_skins/ppm_projects

• customize python script createSubFolders to test for and call a script named create[NewType]
• create python script create[NewType] (in custom) to create the object and any additional objects within it that you desire

Also, feel free to customize the other create[Type] scripts to automatically create additional content within the folder, tracker, or blog as desired. You can also customize the getLocal[vocab]Vocabulary scripts to return your preferred list of vocabulary items.
