After a short analysis, my conclusion is that using a CMS we lose more than we
get.
We can add to the current architecture, design and features what be needed. We
have already support to a lot of CMS features (see the detailed report at
https://savannah.nongnu.org/cookbook/?func=detailitem&item_id=147 ) and it is
easy to add more.
It is just my personal opinion.
Key points:
* The use of the Affero GPL or GPL v3 is a must to a
webapp. We want be able to release the source code
without the risk of a fork and lock with the GPL v2.
We do not use GPL v2 due to it does not cover use of
software over a computer network. GPL v2 has legal
holes about it. You know.
* We are already using a localization architecture
which is very good for us purpose.
* PHP 5.x OOP support.
As result of your feedback we have already improved the login box, and we have
taken note of a lot of CMS features which we could develop.
Thanks for your feedback!,
Davi
