To be honest, the whole process for evaluating a tonne of CMSes to weed them down to a short list and a complex matrix ... sounds like work. A lot of work. The kind of work many of us have been paid to do. In the end, we are then paid to implement the solution we picked. In this case, none of us are likely to be the actually implementers of the solution. Talking with Toshio one night, it was suddenly obvious that we needed to approach this from the angle of getting the people, and then getting the solution. So, if a team of web developers wanted to just run a CMS and go through the complex matrix picking process, more power to them. But to ask this group to do a deep evaluation of systems with no actual task involved that moves us any closer to a real, installed CMS ... sounds like madness to me. To be honest, I haven't contacted anyone from Joomla or Drupal yet. I can probably find the person from OSCON who dropped me his business card about Drupal; we'll find out if they want to chat. But to be honest, if they didn't respond from posts on fedora-list, fedora-art-list, and fedora-devel-list, plus traffic in fedora-docs-list and posts on Fedora Planet ... well, I reckon whoever "they" are, they're not Fedora people already. - Karsten -- Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Community Gardener http://quaid.fedorapeople.org AD0E0C41
