Global settings

Some answers to bob's questions can be pre-filled based on global configuration so you don't have to answer them every time. You can store this configuration either on you local computer, or if you are working in a team, somewhere online.

Creating a Plone add-on package

To create a Plone add-on first install mr.bob and the bobtemplates.fon package and then run mrbob:

$ pip install mr.bob
$ pip install bobtemplates.fon
$ mrbob --config ~/.mrbob.ini -O collective.foo bobtemplates:plone

Then answer some questions:

--> Name of the package: foo
(namespace is already set in the ~/.mrbob.ini)

...

And your package is ready!
