I don't know how many times I wrote it already: No matter what it could do, at least it must meet the basic requirements first. > I hoped that someone else would put some content on the site at some > point. AND NO I didn't set it up for editors, But how should the people that will then actually use the page come up with an opinion? If you just tell "everything can be tweaked to death, to whatever you like", but don't provide a basic setup that works, then you won't get much positive votes. > I guess I could turn on the > WYSIWYG editor and let you make page menus.

Again it doesn't provide a way to create headings and the like. And with the pages that were enabled now: Beware to never create a page without assigning it to a menu, or otherwise you'll never be able to dig it out again unless you bookmarked it. We're talking about setting up a cms for website maintainence, not for a site that hosts news bits or blogs or other bite-sized whatnot. A structured website, similar to what www.openoffice.org is now. > I can't do that with Drupal. But I did say WOW I'm glad I don't have to > work with this to build interactive websites. You didn't see anything that made you say "wow" in the lists of additions to silverstripe. But I don't see anything that does even make me say "OK, that would work" with the drupal demo. Again I stress that I don't doubt that one can build a site that fits the needs, just the demo is nowhere near the initial requirements, not even close I have to say. > Most of the sites that are coming online now are similar to social > networking sites where people can connect with each other and collaborate. The LO site will not be a twitter or facebook like page. It should be a place where endusers find information, at least as the primary function.
