I agree with Yoav. Diversity is good - if everyone got on one project, everyone would have different ideas, and the tension would either tear them apart or nothing would ever get done while they tried to agree.

Oh, and Jetspeed, Slide and Pluto probably all make components of a CMS too (as well as Lenya as Martin mentioned).

Cheers,

Hi,
The usual take on it is that the more options, the better.  If there are
standards, that's great, but a lot of people think standards hinder
creativity.  And if a product is really good it frequently becomes a
de-facto or actual.

So yeah, there are a lot of people doing similar work and reinventing
the same wheels.  That's not new, it's been the case for years.  It's
not specific to Java, it was the same (and still is in some areas) with
other languages.  It's not specific to the server-side, but applies to
the client-side as well.  It's not just open-source, it's $$$ software
as well.

And I don't think it's bad. ;)  And with that, a good weekend to all ;)
