1.) I think open source does not negate commercial opportunity.
Neccessarily. There are many tiers of licensing you can apply to an open
source project. It doesn't have to be GNU.
2.) I read an interesting article on the development of ? sendmail? (one of
those linux based open source mail programs any ways.) And the main thing he
said that you needed to gain momentum for an open source project, was a
place to start. The core functionality.
So I think the need is still there for an open source CMS. Heck I need it...
My wishlist for CosMoS is to start to collect the bits and pieces of code
relating to web based content management (and application management). And
piece together an appropriate frame work for these applications.
I think the majority of our simple needs already exists. It's just the
shrink wrapping thats missing.
I am interested in continuing the CosMoS conversation ...

That's because it's open source, so you kind of give up the ability of
closed source so that you can have a better product. So you either pay lots
of money to have your ideas made, or pay nothing and have the tools and
figure out a different way to make money. Either way you get good software,
and you get your ideas out there.

The only thing i could think that would be a prolem is confidentiality...
There is no way of controlling who gets to see the 'product(s)' as we are
developing them.

Well throw them out here, I don't think there was really enough people
interested in making a full fledged CMS, so maybe something else more people
can use will be of interest to having more people coding, and maybe using
these things we could to integrate into a CMS.

Have you ever discussed forming a business alliance to develop products that
can the group can sell?
For instance i have some fantastic ideas for sites and uses of CF to make
using those sites even easier.
But i dont have the programming knowledge to put these ideas into practice,
just yet anyhow.
I am sure if we all pitched in we could make some great applications, and
make a little on the side!!
