Absolutely!!!! No CMS is going to look or work as you want it to from a front-end perspective when you first get it. You still have to do things once you take it out of the box and install it. However, there is still a "cost" that comes with taking the "Open Source" road. If you have exhausted all the community resource open to solve an issue and still dont have an answer and dont have the financial resources to fund Daemon to assist you or to do the work for you, then you have to work it out for yourself. The Daemon guys (and the list) have been great to me and my work team - but there still came a time where we just had to do it ourselves. > I think what we're hearing is perhaps a need to add a 2-level primary > nav (ie. with a roll over menu) to one of the sample application > templates.

BUT... I never actually used it in a template - only used it to learn from and then built what I needed. It would be nice to see that back again and it sounds as though Ben has a solution in mind for that. However, the "navigation chatter" I am hearing recently sounds like some people want something more comprehensive in the example template (even more than what was in the original one). A non-depth-limited popup menu system generated from the FarCry navigation tree (even if the styling of it is non-extensible). This would then give people wanting such a thing the working example they have been looking for. And yes, the navigation hierarchy data is difficult to understand. But still wonderfully flexible and worth understanding. That understanding really only comes from building and trying out.
