Thanks very
much for your feedback. These mails are really helpful for me.
I'll provide user guide, code documentation which is explaining
functions and classes, module development guide.
Paul,
I'll think about PHP4-5. You're right.. It will reach more people if I
use PHP4.

Yes, of course, DOCUMENTATION!
Most important.
I also like BaBu. What's the
origin of the name? Sounds like a Lion King reference. ;)
I would suggest you to look at TextPattern (www.textpattern.com).
For me, TXP is not just an evolutioned CMS in the CMS timeline, it's a
revolutionary CMS, at least, if you see it from the side of a website
developer/designer.
I would say that with TXP you have the control over the 100% of the
code (XHTML+CSS) outputted.
I cannot be impartial with TXP because I'm in love with TXP since long
time ago.
But really, I think that TXP deserves a look and a try for anyone that
want to develope a new CMS.
I have also tried to learn Drupal, and when I gave up, I wrote this: http://drupal.org/node/34007
One advice: you should give high-priority to the documentation of the
CMS. I mean, one of the most common critics to open-source software
(and maybe particulary to CMS) are the lack of documentation.
BaBu? I like that!

Hi All,
I'm developer of DCP-Portal which is a well-known open source project.
Since I've quit developing DCP-Portal after 4 years and over 200,000
downloads, I've started to thinking to start a new project.
New project will be a content management system. This means the base
package won't have portal system features like member login, forum etc
like many others. But it will be possible to add these features with
extra modules (which most of them will be free and open source).
I'm now planning this new project and I want to learn what users, site
owners need. Why do I have to develop a new system? Can you please help
me?
- Why do you need a new system (or do you need a new system :))
- Which feature(s) is a must for a CMS?
- Which extra modules do you need?
- Which points/features are missed by the current projects?
New project will require PHP5 and a database (MySQL, PostgreSQL,
Oracle, MSSQL etc).
Project name is BaBu Portal (www.babuportal.com will be the
domain).
Any ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks very much.
