At least in my personal experience, the things Lenya lacks that hurt me most are basically the things which make it unattractive for enterprise-level projects (first of all the missing transactional back-end, which is an absolute showstopper, and insufficient/unreliable scalability and performance information). Another issue is that the document management is not workflow-driven, but the workflow engine is wired into the user interaction scenarios. Customer-specific issues or features be fixed or added in the course of a project (after all, there has to be something left to make money with). But Lenya needs to strenghten its fundament to become really successful. Unfortunately we didn't decide to follow this course consequently with 1.4, but we still went on with our home-grown repository. Another issue is the editor situation. I have to admit that my ideas how to improve web-based editing are quite limited. But it really looks like Office integration can't be neglected these days. The term "business driven" depends on what kind of business you have in mind. I advocate the changes which I consider necessary to fulfil the requirements of the companies I'd like to implement projects with. -- Andreas --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
