SilvaFind 1.1.1 (DE)
A highly customizable search solution for use with Silva.

ParsedXML 1.5 (DI)
A DOM-compliant storage for XML documents. Used by SilvaDocument. XMLWidgets integrates with it.
https://infrae.com/download/ParsedXML
Groups 0.5 (IX)
Groups support is optional; Silva should run without the Groups product installed. Groups use a rather hackish technique called 'monkey patching' to hook groups support into the Silva core, and this may conflict with other products that do the same. If you get strange behavior, removing the Groups product and restarting Zope will safely remove it.
See INSTALL.txt for details on how to install Groups.
To start using the Groups definitions, a "Groups Service" is needed. Once the Groups Filesystem Product is installed, such a service can be added to the Silva Root via the ZMI. This service should have for its id.
https://infrae.com/download/Groups
LDAPUserFolder 2.3 (IX)
The LDAP User Folder is a user folder replacement for Zope that authenticates Zope users against LDAP.
Compatibility: LDAPUserFolder versions 2.4.0 beta1 and higher require Python 2.2.3 and higher, and in order to use the User ID/Login separation you need a Zope version higher than 2.7.0.

ExtFile 2.0.2 (IX)
If you plan to manage large upload files with Silva, you may want to avoid storing them in the ZODB, instead putting them on the file system of your server. You can do this by installing ExtFile (see INSTALL.txt for more details).
http://www.zope.org/Members/shh/ExtFile
MailDropHost 1.9 (IX)
The MaildropHost product provides support for sending email from within the Zope environment using MaildropHost objects. Unlike the built-in MailHost object, the sending is done asynchronously from a separate process.

SilvaNewsNetwork 2.5 (EX)
SilvaNewsNetwork (formerly known as SilvaNews) builds on Silva and SilvaDocument to provide News Publication, News Filters and News Viewers as well as News Articles and Agenda Items to build a distributed news system for your Silva site. It also contains RSS export and import facilities.
