Hi Jim,
I'm not a Mac OS person, but I can tell you about moving
sites around
from development to production instances.

Yes, the ZEXP export/import route is an option, as is moving
the whole
data.fs file. If you wish to "compartmentalise"
your setup to keep this
site separate, you may wish to consider using a mount point
to mount
this site in it's own ZODB/file.

Yes, as long as the Zope, Plone & 3rd-party products are
in synch.
I find moving the data.fs more reliable than the
import/export route,
but the import/export is certainly easier.

These techniques (managing data.fs, mount points, and .zexp
files), are
all really at the level of the Zope application server
rather than the
Plone application, so the Zope resources are important here
- take a
look at the Zope book, at: -
