I thought I made it pretty clear that to judge, I want a demo that meets all the initial requirements. And people were telling: I'll create such a site. Thus I laid back and waited for the result. > On Oct 18, 2010, at 10:42 AM, Christian Lohmaier wrote: >> On Mon, Oct 18, 2010 at 2:48 PM, Benjamin Horst <bho...@mac.com> wrote: >> >> So I'm strongly in favor of silverstripe... > > However, I think you're the only one. :) No surprise. > I've counted roughly 4-5 people who are in favor of Drupal, including Andrea > Pescetti, who replied to > the thread at length on Oct 16.

I read all the mails in this thread, but just because Drupal has a big fanbase doesn't convice me to actually use it. > Silverstripe does not seem to offer the groupware functionality that Drupal > can provide us Saiy who? I mean I selected silverstripe after thinking about the initial requirements, and I found it to comply with all of them. > If I don't have time to install a complete Drupal demo site (because I have a > demanding day job), > that is not a sufficient reason to run roughshod over the request by myself > and other community > members to give it a fair review. You (all drupal fanboys/supporters) so far communicated the same about drupal. It can do anything if you just spend enough time configuring it properly. So yes: I demand *other* that are familiar with drupal to do it. >Christian--you seem to have the time to install and test Silverstripe, Yes, because installing it didn't take long. It basically was ready right from the start. > but you refuse to install Drupal. Yes. Because their demos didn't convince me. It only tells: "You need to put a heck worth of work into customizing it/hunting for the appropriate plugins to get there where silverstipe is more or less out-of-the-box. And as also written a couple of times: As silverstipe fits my needs/the needs I did lay out (and nobody else added points to), why should I invest time in drupal? And as you mentioned the extension site running drupal: That is another point why I don't really want to consider it. A statement that swirls around in my head from the folks as OSUOSL (where that site is hosted) was that those sites are those that require most ressources. >Why not go ahead and test it side-by-side, yourself? Because then you'll again state: But you didn't install module x/y that would have solved all your problems, because then you'll state: You should have had an expert install it, etc. ciao Christian -- E-mail to website+h...@libreoffice.org for instructions on how to unsubscribe List archives are available at http://www.libreoffice.org/lists/website/ All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
