We really need to move forward on selecting a CMS. It is highly unlikely that we'll see a PHP solution selected. I've heard many calls for Drupal, but let's not count on it. In particular, if a PHP solution is chosen, we'll have to be very, very careful in picking it out, and we'll probably need to disable any more dangerous functionality. In the case of Drupal and many others, that would include XML-RPC. There aren't many Python solutions out there, but we need to scour what is available very carefully. Many people were or would have been doubtful of what we could accomplish with MoinMoin, and look at all we've managed to do. The Fedora Project wiki is at the top of the list of MoinMoin's list of example wikis[1]. We can accept that there may need to be work done on whatever solution we select to get it where we want it. We've got a large pool of talent that will be wiling to help with that. I've added this to the Schedule[2], and placed an arbitrary target date of 2006-01-13 on this item. Let's see if we can get it done any sooner. I know the guys working on the Fedora Unity project[3] have been working on a similar problem, and Thomas Chung of FedoraNEWS.ORG has been in the market recently. I'd love to hear what they've learned. Anyone else with recent experience or examples of good CMS implementations can chime in. Some demos are available at http://www.opensourcecms.com/ for people to check out. Happy hunting!
