Re: [libreoffice-website] CMS requirements / suitability testing

I'd set up a demo, if you send me what the requirements are.  I can probably
do this in a day or two.

You seem to be fairly set on silver stripe and if thats what you want then
by all means do that.  If you want a demo of Drupal and a site to kick
around let me know.  I can even show you how to use some of the major
features.  I'd like you to show me silverstripe in return though.
