Matt:

Please let me throw in my 2 cents:

As far as I can tell, phpWebSite is the ONLY Open Source content management 
system that is actually being built to a software engineering standard. I 
researched every CMS project I could find before I settled on phpWebSite. 
We probably host more  phpWebSite sites than any other hosting company. 
I've banked our company on phpWebsite. I made the decision to go with 
phpWebSite when you released the first version. I haven't seen anything 
that would make me want to go to another CMS. And, I've seen lots to 
increase my loyalty to phpWebSite.

Just look at the code in phpNuke and phpPostNuke. Remember the horrible 
code that was in phpWebSite when it was first broken off from phpNuke?

Your team has consistently improved phpWebSite. You have diligently worked 
the plan. As someone who has been developing software since 1973, I can 
tell you that despite whatever delays and deficits exist in the phpWebSite 
development effort, the phpWebSite team is doing far better than corporate 
America does on at least 80%, maybe 90% of their development projects.

So, are you guys perfect? Of course not! Have I been completely happy with 
everything that has happened. Of course not! Are you doing better than most 
developers in our industry? Absolutely!

And, most importantly, you have been true to your original commitment to 
create a system built to a real design and real standards.

You have much to be proud of with phpWebSite. So, just remember that some 
people will never be happy, no matter what you do.
