There's #webhackers on irc.gnome.org, but you won't often find the right
people there at the time you need. I'd like to have as much as possible
on the mailing list so I can have a chance to see what's happening.
(even though I am clueless about Plone).

This is another reason why I'll be demanding that people use the
ChangeLogs when committing changes to svn.
