­Lightning talks are short,3-minutes recommended, 7-minute hard maximum, sessions you deliver. Time-limits will be stubbornly enforced. Topics should be of general interest; presentation should be lively and fast-moving. The talks provide a great way to share something you're excited about with a bevy of Plonistas. They're scheduled just before the end of each day, when everyone's wondering what to talk about over beer.

Slot 2: KaizenPlone.org - Dylan Jay

We need to support those learning and integrating plone as much as we can. KaizenPlone is a wiki style FAQ for plone best practice. Often plone can be overwhelming with many ways to do one thing and not much information of how to choose. KaizenPlone is an attempt to solve this problem by providing a method for documenting that sits between the formality of plone.org documentation and hit and miss of newsgroups and #plone.This talk is for those that think there are better ways we can document the rapid innovations with plone.
