I believe there will be a need "in general" for something that can dynamically generate page defs based on some stuff like time, or the user's location, etc etc. Also, as far as CMS, the EntityManager and related infrastructure will make it quite simple to deal with articles and other 'content objects'. best, _alex > Cheers, > Graeme > > > _______________________________________________ > binarycloud-general mailing list > bin...@li... > http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/binarycloud-general > -- alex black, ceo en...@tu... the turing studio, inc. http://www.turingstudio.com vox+510.666.0074 fax+510.666.0093 |
