RE: Executive Questions
Yes, I guess that's true but it is also true that usability seems to be
one of the key roadmap features. I guess it come down to interpretation
of usable, i.e. from who's point of view, the site developer, the
administrator, the content author?

That's a characteristic of the framework - you get bits and pieces
and have to glue them together, extend and customize them when you
build your CMS using Lenya. Providing them "out of the box" would
decrease the flexibility.

Up to now, we focused on the content authors. In 1.2, there have been
significant improvements of the administration usability (admin area).
I think it doesn't make much sense to provide a GUI for the site
developer, because you'll never achieve the flexibility of a
Java & XML IDE and a WYSIWYG XHMTL editor.
BTW, would you mind following the mailing list quoting guidelines?
