Hi,
I think this has been discussed before but I thought I'd make a proposal having
seen Yuppie's posts.
CMF is currently a pain to install since, at a minimum, you have to install:
CMFCore
CMFDefault
DCWorkflow
...and then there's the myriad of other products (CMFStaging, Topic, Wiki, etc)
not to mention the myriad of yet more stuff floating about in the collective stuff.
I think new users find this pretty intimidating and it makes the installation
explanations a lot harder to write.
What I'd like to see is either:
1. One product, called CMF, that you drop into the Products folder, that
combines CMFCore, CMFDefault and DCWorkflow.
2. Two products. CMFCore - combining the current CMFCore, DCWorkflow and the
bits of CMFDefault identified by Yuppie as belonging in the core. CMFDefault - a
default layer for CMFCore that is entirely replaceable and not necessary to use
the CMF. Maybe even change it's name to CMFDemo.
Personally, I'd prefer option 1 for ease of installation and a decent
out-of-the-box feel.
What do other people think?
cheers,
Chris
PS: I'm prepared to put the effort in to make this happen once people make
decisions...
