Wait, you are mixing stuff. First: the NC and ND clauses have been widely denounced as non-free, by many in the FOSS and free culture communities at large. (People have even written alternative licenses to support and widen the -by-SA type, but this is another discussion.) I am sorry to disappoint you but I do consider that a content/site/whatever which is distributed under either -by-NC or -by-ND or under -by-NC-ND is non-free. In the definition of free software, you have the freedoms to use, study, modify and do whatever you like, which includes sell. So, by not allowing some of these -- that is, what NC and ND and their combination do -- you restrict certain freedoms. Which, imho, is not acceptable: either we defend all freedoms or just some of them. Second, the goal of the website has nothing to do with the license under which the CMS running it is released. These are totally unrelated. Third, what does "liberal styled license" mean? Lastly, NC and ND are totally independent clauses. So, your very last sentence is irrelevant and invalid :) > 3-I never thought of wordpress as a CMS, it is a great blogging engine but > that is where I see it. on drupal or joomla, we could swing either way.

What does it mean "a CMS is a great blogging tool but that is where I see it?" A CMS -- *content* management, that is -- just does this: handles content. Regardless of the content ya3ni. > 4-The world doesn't end by choosing a CMS that we think later we should > change, version 2.0 of anything is always better so as long as we start > somewhere and succeed enough to need 2.0 then we will cross that bridge when > we get there. Er, I beg to disagree. It is volunteer community. Migrating a website with content and stuff is a sheer volume of work, I will certainly avoid doing it if I can. And this means choosing the CMS wisely. > 5-Typo3 has fairly easy to manage admin interface for content editor/site > administrator I thought that was a big advantage. Why not taking Wordpress then? if this is the only advantage of Typo3, then it is not an advantage cuz it is already a basic feature of many others :) Bottom line is that it's better to take a CMS that the biggest number of contributors know how to work with rather than something that's just cool. Don't forget that the entry barrier must be as low as possible in order not to restrict people willing to help but not knowing how to use the tool. > 6-This is still on staging, if there are volunteers who want to setup drupal > or joomla so we can try before we buy that is great. if not, as mentioned in > #4, we can move forward and come back to that later. I beg to disagree again :) To me, we need to prototype and set up needs then match tools to these. Not take one tool and try to shoehorn stuff into it, then decide to engage into even more time- and effort-requiring direction. Sorry to sound kinda harsh, it is not my intention, written communication has its limits ;) Just that I've been seeing this kind of discussions a countless number of times and communities getting stuck and drawn back by endless discussions on tools without identifying needs and targets. Talk laterz, and belhanna to all these who are going to have dinner :) Rayna > > Regards > Mohamed > > > On Sunday, April 14, 2013 5:43:16 PM UTC+2, Rayna / Malicia wrote: >> >> Hey Mohamed et al, >> >> Thanks for taking care of this. >> I have a few questions: >> * what exactly motivated you to use a CMS which is distributed under >> the controversial -by-NC-ND license? :) >> * what are the advantages and disadvantages of this CMS in comparison >> to Drupal, WordPress, keda? >> >> Thanks, >> Rayna >> >> 2013/4/13 <unixme...@gmail.com>: >> > Hi, >> > >> > I setup Typo3 on a VPS.
