Hi,
Would like to just clarify things: bcms is not meant to replace aD CMS. Its just something I use and contributed to CVS. The cms package is big, and one of the aspects of auto form generation is not something I am working on. I think Lars is working on that. There is also content type creation via UI. And workflow.
There is a group of people trying to figure out what to do with the CMS future of OpenACS. I think that is where any decisions will be made. Although I do agree that having a package that requires an obseleted package is a bit hard.
