There's a thread starting on [email protected] about the
requirements for a CMS for the ASF. Here's a snippet from Paul:
Is this archive accessible to the public? I found only the
infrastructure-dev list on gmane.
Would you mind if I forwarded this mail to the Lenya list?

Yeah, so, here is the kicker. We run *.apache.org on a single
t2000. Granted, it is a beefy machine, 32 cpu/32gigs of RAM etc.
However, it by itself could not cope with us switching to *any* CMS
right now.
I talked to the mozilla.org guys -- they run 10 machines behind a
caching load balancer for drupal -- we have nothing like that (nor the
budget, heh, heh). Performance is all relative.
I think the hardest semi-requirement for any CMS we could use, is the
ability to generate static file exports.
We either need something that does cross-datacenter replication (eu &
us), or something that generates static files that we can rsync to eu
& us. If it does replication and not static exports -- whatever is
running on the edge servers needs to be doing _really_ good caching.
I believe for the foundation and service to projects, we do need some
kind of WYSIWYG type CMS -- I'm just not sure what we want exists :)
It tends to get bike-shedy pretty quickly talking about
wordpress/drupal/typo/other-FOTM-CMS, but we do need something sooner
or later.
