RE: Please provide stable 6.1 Release

Are you kidding or what? Seriously, if the price was reasonable, I might
pay a subscription, but it would curl my toes considering it's open
source and I am paying for access to current releases. I am not lazy, I
just am looking for a solid well documented stable open source
CMS/Portal solution. Is that too much to ask? I did skip 5.x though, but
I just love using current releases, don't you? I would contribute my
enhancements and fixes gladly to such a project. 

I would also challenge Redhat to allow contributing developers access to
stable releases, which maybe they do already, look at APLAWS+, which I
am damn impressed with. I haven't contributed any new features or fixes
yet, but I am going to be adding content types, and I sure as hell am
not going to make them available to Redhat without access to stables
releases. I also would love it if Redhat CCM/Portal was JSR 168
compliant and more standards based. I would certainly contribute to that
effort if I was actively using CCM/Portal in my company, which is
difficult without easy access to stable releases, which slows adoption. 

With those options, one could go either way dependent on their skill and
need. Jahia has some funky open source license like this that is geared
more towards major contributors, than casual bug fixers. So forget them,
but wow, what a great Portal/CMS solution. It's the best I have
evaluated.

I have looked at every open source portal and CMS solution out there,
and documentation wise, Redhat CCM clobbers them. Install wise, CCM was
better than most. I would opt for a Maven based build process though.
It's damn painful implementing an open source CMS with little how-to
documentation. There needs to be more tutorials in the CCM
documentation. uPortal is probably the best open source portal out there
doc and feature wise, their HyperContent CMS isn't that great though. I
am implementing a solution now built on APLAWS+, and I am going to make
my notes available to the mailing list for what they're worth. 

Just some ideas.

If we did this, would you pay for a subscription?
