I've been updating the Conglomerate website and I'm wondering how people
feel about a change to the description and stated goals of the project.
Currently the website has a very old description of Conglomerate as a
client/server content management system.
However, Conglomerate as it currently stands is purely a client-side
thing - an XML editor for end-users.
This reflects my personal interests - I'm keen on having a user-friendly
XML editor, potentially with support for connecting to various CMS
systems, but I'm not especially interested in writing my own CMS.
I know that at least one person out there agrees with me:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=121340
So I'd like to reposition the project so that it's firmly on the
client-side, as a user-friendly XML editor. But I'm wary about simply
updating things, especially the stated goals of the project - how do
people feel about such a change? Users? Developers? Founders of the
project?
Also: are there any CMS systems that we should support? Do we need to
even bother supporting CMS systems?
Thoughts?
