Yes, I have heard, that some people are working on a Drupal
solution. However, from what I know, the Steering Committee decided
to work with Silverstripe, and we are currently working with
Silverstripe. The Steering Committee did *not* yet decide a
replacement of Silverstripe by Drupal in the future. They just
suggested further investigation on how Drupal could be a future
solution. The Steering Committee did not decide about a time frame.
(I just read the minutes again.)

However, Bernhard is referring to the LibreOffice website, that is
to be filled with content *now* and this is Silverstripe.

Maybe important and interesting work, no doubt.

I´d rather concentrate on filling the existing website with the very
urgently needed content, immediately.

I am answering here at marketing@libreoffice.org rather than posting
on website@libreoffice.org, because Bernhard raised this issue here.

What you guys are doing, is building up a new house. I am engaged in
disaster management and emergency service, trying to accomodate the
homeless *now*. ;-)

Both is necessary, though.
