The drupal development should focus about the technical aspects, not
about the content. If the drupal team would care about the content,
then they should do the discussion about that on the public list.

You're a couple of months late. We had that discussion already. and
silverstripe does meet all relevant needs.

Has been done in the past. Executive summary "Silverstripe: Does it
out of the box, drupal has so many modules, so surely it can do the
same and more and has a bigger fanbase/more users worldwide" However
the drupal demonstration sites sucked badly at the time, thus SC did
vote for going live with Silverstripe.

That there has not been much content on the site surely is not the
fault of silverstripe. I'm very disappointed about this as well, but
the reason is that almost nobody did provide content to put up on the
site.

Thankfully David and Italo did jump in and are working hard to get
some content up that is good enough to make the switch from
"test.libreoffice.org" to "[www.]libreoffice.org"
