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

Marc,

Thanks for stepping in here and helping us organize this last bit of work. Your taking on the role 
of an impartial organizer is vital.

I will help in either case. (Though I'll be more effective with Drupal since I already know the 
system.)

This looks like a great outline for the final proposal. Thanks again for creating this. It may make
