With all the other technologies in ofbiz, seems like webslinger just adds more 
stuff onto the pile.  I don't want to argue the technical merits of database or 
file system persistence for a CMS, but it appears like ofbiz would benefit from 
reducing the number of technologies used, and increase the amount of re-use of 
technologies it already has.

So, for me, that means entity/service/screen/presentment models are the core 
technologies.   Galvanizing initiatives around those appear to provide leverage.

Now don't get me wrong, the "CMS" that is native in ofbiz is incomplete and 
needs a lot of work...  and for our use case of providing self edited web sites 
and ecommerce sites, that appears a better starting point.  We have done things 
to add self editing etc... but we need to put a lot more effort into that to 
ensure that there is a real solution.

my $0.02.
