That's probably the reason why you keep writing the same stuff over
and over again.

Do I want to collaborate with you with that attitude? Probably not.

There is, just look at the work the silverstirpe.com people had
prepared, but again: That is not the question here.

Did drupal advocates here on the list turn it into a usable site yet? NO.

that doesn't matter if it doesn't work for us.
And that is all that counts.

Not the bare minimum. It does /all/ that it is supposed to do.

Noone so far posted a requirement that would not be possible to do
with silverstripe.

Again I'm tired of that bullshit argument. You /failed/ in
demonstrating your knowledge, the flexibility of drupal with the demo.

You had a big chance to show off, but you didn't. You (and that
doesn't only mean Keith), produced a site I can only laugh about. It's
so sad that it is funny again.

Well, despite the nice works, nothing worth to demonstrate has been created.

Yes, I don't know silverstripe for long, but I know it long enough to
like it, to have created a site that people want to use for a
production site.
"lay that on the table buddy" - what did you achieve with the drupal demo yet?

Yes, you're so smart, yes you fail to apply your knowledge.

You might be, but you're not willing to do so. Maybe when I'd hire you
and pay yout, but so far you only talk big.

No. Does it need years of experience to create modules, additional
features for silverstripe: No.
Go figure.

yes, because I always write the same stuff over and over again, and
you just don't listen.

What other positive aspects does a CMS need to fulfill apart from:
* Does /everything/ one wants it to do
* Is easy to use
* Is easy to administer

Yes, you did all you can do to destroy drupal's reputation it had with
me with the demo. Wouldn't it for the large drupal userbase (number of
installations), I'd never had let it progrss so far.

blablablablabla. Yes, you can do anything, but you just don't do it.
And that's the problem.

You write the same stuff in every mail. Instead of wasting the time
writing mails, you should configure the drupal demo properly to do
drupal justice.

I don't know whether you're aware as to what picture you're now
painting of both drupal users/defenders as well as drupal the system
itself.

Yeah, that fraction of a second you see that screen when you switch to
a completely different part of the interface surly impacts your
productivity more than the full seconds it takes navigating to that
other part of the cms in drupal. yeah, right...
