Hi everone:

It is Thursday night here in Canada and I am trying to complete the 
report on the Wiki for our presumed Friday deadline. Note that I have 
tried as best as possible to remain neutral in all of the arguments.

I have updated the Wiki and tried to be as impartial as possible. For 
the lack of time, with answering as many posting on the Website mailist, 
the Drupal team could not rally and get a good solid example of a 
working Drupal TDF/LibO site. The Silverstripe came out of the starting 
gate (on the day of request from André) with a working example of a 
TDF/LibO site. To be fair, this left the Drupal team little time to 
organise and put forth a decent demo-site as well as manage the 
discussions on the mailist. IMHO a heads-up of 2 weeks would have been a 
more accommodating time-frame.

However, with the bantering back and forth of ideas, the Drupal team did 
put forth their arguments, a somewhat workable demo with demos of 
certain other aspects of Drupal that were questioned on the mailist.

There are links to the Drupal and Silverstripe demo sites (along with 
the added Drupal additional example site/pages) PLEASE NOTE THAT THE 
TABLES AND ORDER OF THE APPEARING CMS LISTINGS WERE MADE IN ALPHABETICAL 
ORDER!)

A requirements table was created; followed by a comparisons table -- 
some were edited by the different CMS teams members and I went over the 
postings and made additional edits of some points made on the mailist.

We had a "hands up" session for those who would volunteer their services 
with the creation, admin, maintenance. The Drupal team had quite a few 
volunteers.

As for the vote for which CMS to choose from the Website mailist 
members. There was a general consensus agreeing with Andrea Pescetti 
that the Website mailist membership was not structure assuch to allow an 
impartial vote as it would have been quite easy to pad the vote in one 
favour or another. Therefore the SC should then choose according to the 
results of our "fact finding" information on the two choices of CMS.

Again, trying to be as impartial as possible, one should look to the 
Wiki examine the facts and the discussion mailist banter. This should 
give you a clear picture of the best choice of CMS to choose.

Many thanks for allowing our community to have a voice in your choosing 
the CMS as well as its volunteer maintainers.

Marc
