Ryan:

As I thought I made clear in my initial note, we need a good bit more than
that. I have run fossil and I agree that it is pretty good. The SQLite
folks have used it very effectively. But, as you say, Fossil is focused on
a narrow set of goals. It is very good at those goals, but we (PixelFab)
need some things that Fossil doesn't do. Most notably in the areas of
documents and workflows.

To be clear: I'm not a big fan of Drupal, and I'm also not a big fan of
Joomla. But we need more than Fossil provides.
