jason, I don't mean to replace drupal.
as you know I'm one of the few who has worked in it so I know that it
works ;-)
when I ask for evaluation I want the community to point out problems.
one problem right now is that we have two cms'es: moin and drupal, and
that drupal has had no chance to get used well because people didn't want
to learn how to use it (however easy it is, I know)
I try explicitly to avoid any concluding statements here, I want people to
send in what they think.
