So it should be added right now. Without these options there is no 
chance for the "normal" user to work on the CMS.

As mentioned earlier, the problem derives from calling the testing area 
"demo". If it had been called "minimal version to start with" all these 
necessary functions would have probably been included from the beginning.

Common sense shows, that nearly every function can be included in 
Drupal. But it *has to be* included to start working with the CMS.

And time is too short to discuss the features - we have to start 
creating websites with whatever CMS will have been chosen.

Until the decision of the Steering Committee there is still the chance 
to include the modules in the Drupal "demo". This would give the SC a 
real possibility to decide:
In my eyes allowing the people waiting for the starting shot to create 
their webpages *now* is the main precondition for their decision. What I 
read from Christian's mails this is still not possible for Drupal, so 
there might be no real decision...

I created a new table on the wiki page comparing only the necessities 
for going live with either Drupal or SilverStripe.

http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Website/Evaluation_of_CMS_Platforms#Preconditions_to_go_live_with_one_of_the_CMS

I didn't test these features in both of the CMS as I don't have the time 
ATM. I just added, what I remember from the discussion here.

Please update the table with your experiences.

Christian mentioned some of the specific parts still missing (at least 
at the time he wrote his mails) in Drupal, so this should be the area to 
work for the next few hours/days. I didn't add all of them by now - 
please do so on your own.

Remember - it's not about the features we want to be implemented during 
the next weeks or months: It's just about a few days to allow working 
for the native-lang teams and others at the shortest time possible.

I'm still in favor for Drupal, but starting real work now is more 
important for the community.

Best regards

Bernhard
