Walter,

Just keep up with the forums postings. I think the latest news is that Jun has been cleaning up BCMS a little and not much else has happened.

I recommend you try installing the BCMS and BCMS-UI-BASE packages from contrib. I believe they will require OpenACS 5.0 unless you want to backport some functions such as list-builder.

Also check out the CMS project pages:

We definitely want to include real-life client needs in any CMS effort.

I would like to focus on finishing the tcl API to the content repository. Everything I have learned suggests that CMS UI are very subjective and will need to be customized for clients. Even so, we could use more example UI code for developers to base their work on.
