Re: [libreoffice-website] [SC] Decision about CMS

I just want to reiterate the points made above are basically what I've been
trying to explain.  Silverstripe is really a dead end, it isn't even the
same class as Drupal and the only way you would know that is to spend some
time with it Drupal, or to have a live demo done by an experienced user.

I am willing to donate services to this project that include project
management for the site development and mentoring individuals on commercial
production best practices in Drupal development.  I would do this in
exchange for some credit for my little business thoughtfarmproductions but I
don't need any money for this.

You are really going to need someone with my level of experience to quickly
get a nice site up and running.

If you just want me to answer questions or mouth off on the discussion board
then I'll do that for nothing LOL.
