I've been updating the Conglomerate website and I'm wondering how people feel about a change to the description and stated goals of the project. Currently the website has a very old description of Conglomerate as a client/server content management system. However, Conglomerate as it currently stands is purely a client-side thing - an XML editor for end-users. This reflects my personal interests - I'm keen on having a user-friendly XML editor, potentially with support for connecting to various CMS systems, but I'm not especially interested in writing my own CMS. I know that at least one person out there agrees with me: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=121340 So I'd like to reposition the project so that it's firmly on the client-side, as a user-friendly XML editor. But I'm wary about simply updating things, especially the stated goals of the project - how do people feel about such a change? Users? Developers? Founders of the project? Also: are there any CMS systems that we should support? Do we need to even bother supporting CMS systems? Thoughts?
