that's nice, thanks a lot.
However, we had this discussion quite often in the past, which CMS to 
use, and it comes up every once in a while.

The initial choice of SilverStripe for the website, as well as Plone for 
extensions & templates came up because we always heard "$otherCMS can do 
this and that", but for SilverStripe and Plone, we had working samples, 
other CMS' functions were just words, no proof. :-)

Likewise, most of the times, when a complaint comes up about e.g. 
SilverStripe, when you really ask people what's wrong, it's quite vague. 
And then asking if they know e.g. Drupal does things much better, the 
answer usually is rather silent.

So, for the main website, IMHO discussions about changing the CMS do not 
make any sense, unless there is someone who actually _KNOWS_ that any 
other CMS solves the problems without creating new major ones, and 
someone who actually _DOES_ it. :-)

For the Plone sites, there are indeed some concrete items that can and 
should be worked on, and those are the ones I'd love to collect in the 
infra Etherpad, so we can solve them.
