Andrew, Dear all,
> What sort of functionality are you looking for?
The main things, which I would like to have is:
The CMS should provide a wysiwyg editor with direct edit function (make
use of existing wysiwyg editors like HTMLArea or fckEdit, Kupu).
All articles shall be listed in a hierarchical tree (explorer like
tree).
The CMS should provide a templating engine.
The CMS should provide a cms taglib library.
The CMS shall be able to export / import articles in RSS format (nice to
have).
The CMS should provide pre defined, easy to change templates.
...
> Would you be interested in helping raise funding to develop a pure
OfBiz CMS?
Yes, but I think developing a pure CMS Solution from scratch is not a
trivial task and therefor it would be wise to use existing components
from other mature CM systems like OpenCms or Magnolia (JSR 170
compliant) or think about integrating Jakarta Slide, JackRabbit
(
http://incubator.apache.org/jackrabbit/) into OfBiz :-).
May be the existing OfBiz CMS component could be developed further
through core developers or other solution providers, who have enough
experience with these frameworks.
I would like to know how the OfBiz core developers think about this
issue.
Best Regards from Berlin,
Arash

Arash, Everyone,
I think you've probably hit on one of the major hurdles to adoption of
OfBiz for a lot of people.
I know that in my own experience people have taken a look at the CMS and
either said "how the hell does this work" or worse "this doesn't work!".
I know we could make much more use of OfBiz here if there was a more
mature CMS.
What sort of functionality are you looking for?
Would you be interested in helping raise funding to develop a pure OfBiz
CMS?
