[Community-desktop] desktop-server-3.0.0-final-beta-6075-py24 questions

[Chris Calloway]

I have a 2.05 and a 2.13 site using the previous version of Enfold Desktop.

I'm building a new 2.5 site and am trying out build 6075.

I uninstalled the previous version of Enfold Desktop as per instructions.

1) It works fine. But my Enfold Desktop folder is now full of previous 
version connections which cannot be either used or deleted. Is there a 
work around to see only connections which work with the new version or 
to delete old connections?

2) Is there a way to use both versions at the Desktop? I'm stuck with 
these older versions of Plone for awhile (resources for migration are 
deeply strained, especially in light of other third party products). 
Does Build 6075 work with 2.05 or 2.13? Does the previous build work 
with 2.5?

3) Also, in the previous version, I opened a WebDAV server and port and 
had to configure that on the desktop in the product install. Then new 
build doesn't seem to ask for that? I assume it is using the HTTP server 
by default. Is this correct? Knowing this is important for how I set up 
Apache.

4) Is it still required that the Zope instance owner user perform the 
Enfold Desktop Add/Remove Product? I did this not knowing, although it 
is not documented in the new instructions. Having it not documented made 
me suspect it was no longer required. That would be a good thing for a 
variety of reasons.

5) Finally, as a non-profit educational research institution, am I under 
the new pricing structure? A good part of my strategy, developed 
pre-license change, was to put desktop clients in the hands of my 
institutional content contributors. We've lost most (well, OK, in a 
year, all) of our funding, so I need to revise my strategy if licensing 
is per seat at a low threshold. I don't know what to revise it to, given 
to how the FOSS nature of Plone was key to Plone's adoption in my 
project and bulk upload through Winders is key to acceptance of Plone by 
my content contributors. So I'd like to know my options a little 
clearer. Feel free to contact me offlist about this item.

Please let me know also, should I need to open a collector issue on any 
of these items.
