It still is, but web content has not been the highest priority (and still isn't, based on the polling). We made an effort in December to see if we could drop the current content module in favour of a CMS, and realized that the code is too much of a mess. Time has been spent doing clean up (and legal process) so that we can get a position stable enough that we can deactivate the crappy pieces in favour of new components, such as the wiki module. - Stephen -- sch at sun.com http://blogs.sun.com/sch/
