The idea is a promising one. The major complaint we encounter
in sales occasions is integration with other authentication /
contact information systems, namely Windows NT domains and
Lotus Notes, sometimes also obscure CRMs.

Actually, I could as well list the other problems our prospective
customers find with Midgard:

   * Doesn't run on Windows NT / 2000 (we wouldn't recommend it anyway)
   * Doesn't support Oracle, SQL Server, or some other favourite RDBMS

We encounter these mostly when dealing with large companies that
have substantial IT department and have made large investments
in a particular platform. However, it is very promising that these
companies only find so little to complain, as we are competing
agains major CMS players, including:

   * Vignette StoryServer
   * Lotus Notes
   * IBM WebSphere

What this tells is that lots of companies find the feature set
in Midgard good, and believe in the stability and security provided
by Open Source metholodies enough that a small company such as
ours can compete against large IT consultancies.

As to the lacking features, my hope is that the work being done
on Midgard2, and the possible interim 1.4.6 solution would help
with the issues.
