Hi everyone,
you might have noticed (e.g. via the blog post [1] which gained a lot of
publicity) that the future of Java is very uncertain. Maybe the next
version won't be an open standard anymore.
I think we should seriously consider migrating to another platform. I'm
sure there must be good reasons that most CMS's are written in PHP
anyway. There are some quite powerful frameworks (Zend, PEAR) to
implement complex web applications. Combined with a mature JavaScript
library like Dojo or YUI we could create a productive system in an
acceptable timeframe. I think moving to PHP would also help to increase
the potential user base.
BTW, recently I did a project using .Net, and I was very positively
suprised and think it would be a viable alternative. We could finally
get rid of those endorsed libraries issues and of all our legacy code.
Maybe there are other platforms worth considering? E.g. Ruby on Rails?

WDYT? Any comments are greatly appreciated!
