Hi,
I intend to create a handful of personal web sites and I thought I'd use a CMS
for the purpose instead of creating the sites using Adobe GoLive, or
Dreamweaver, etc. My reasons were that I wanted to focus on content, and not
the technology or programming.
I chose Lenya because its opensource and uses Java and XML (no database), and
because its an Apache project.
I would like to keep my life simple and be able to do simple things like add
Javascript, pictures, documents, simple forms, etc. to my pages.
Javascript is a bit tricky because of well-formedness, resp. that most
existing
Javascript is not well-formed. One trick is to reference it from the head.
Pictures, Documents and assets in general can be easily be attached to
pages, but the sample
publications might not show that as nicely as it could be. You might
want to take a look at the
University of Zurich publication:
Demo: https://cms.unizh.ch/lenya/sandbox/authoring/index.html
Source Code: http://svn.wyona.org/repos/public/lenya/unicms/trunk/
(anonymous:anonymous)
Forms are also supported, but also no nice examples within the sample
publications, but:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lenya/sandbox/cforms-default-pub/
... so I think a lot of stuff your are asking for is there, but kind of
hidden.
But it seems
Lenya out of the box is too inflexible and is mired in a very strict DTD.
DTDs are not required, but only well-formedness, but yes, they are being
used sometimes
for various reasons
I
would like your advice as to whether I should continue with using Lenya or
not. I totally believe that user acceptance is a very important piece to make
product popular and successful.
I very much agree (also see Jonathan's email) and I think Lenya could do
much better, but
there are all kind of reasons why that's not the case.

I may just be a wrong kind of user here, but
would like to know the opinion of people who are behind Lenya. Thanks!
