Yes agreed, and if at the end of the day, Silverstripe does answer all our needs, I don't see why we should migrate to something else.

A quote: Things grow unstructured. TDF and LibO are two different although related things growing at great pace since few weeks ago. However I think that the structure for contribution is lagging behind for both. I know that new TDF and LibO websites are ongoing. But I don't know what really has to be done. Neither I know what has NOT to be done. I just polished the structure of http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Website and realized that there is an official major confusion between TDF and LibO websites development. In the mail list I see few of you with a clear picture of what has to be done. But what about casual contributors such as me or Narayan. How can we know what is a priority and what is not without seeking and reading dozens of messages. Most importantly: Many more will come and find themselves in the same situation. I ask the ones with a rather clear top-down vision to do two things: 1.- Don't over use the mail list. Use the wiki to materialize cooled down knowledge. 2.- Keep the wiki up to date (and structured). http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Website can't be up to date when the URL is meaning TDF website and the first paragraph says Welcome to the LibreOffice Webpage development wiki First step: leave http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Website for talking about the TDF website and create http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/LibO/... for LibreOffice topics. LibreOffice website would come in http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/LibO/Website , etc. On Sun, Dec 12, 2010 at 10:03 AM, Marc Paré m...@marcpare.com wrote: Le 2010-12-12 03:47, Stefan Weigel a écrit : Hi Stefan: Well: quote during our yesterday's call, the CMS decision was taken: it will be Silverstripe as a starter, with plans to migrate to Drupal later on. /quote To me, plans to migrate to Drupal later on does not necessarily mean, that there actually will be a migration to Drupal.

Most of the Drupal people were busy with their employment commitments and had somehow been caught short in presenting a sample CMS for the SC. However, the documentation was well presented.

Hi Marc, all, just a short comment with regards to a part of your mail that might be misunderstood...
