This is a good example of how people have a wide difference of opinion on
what a CMS is. Stefano Maz. would not call cocoon a CMS. There needs to be a
good deal of discussion/arguments to hash things out. I doubt you want to do
that on general@xml??

What if the apache powers granted some resources to (interesting) fledgling
projects.  For example cms could use:
- discuss-cms - mailling list to shake out needs/requirements/resources/etc
----- currently using a yahoo group
- CVS repository to hold text (XML) documents to describe the project
----- there is a place for group-docs on yahoo, but no CVS - maybe not a big
deal??)
----- no code in this repository.
- cms.apache.org as a place to advertise to the public

best,
