Abstract
Over and over people hope to find the holy grail of a CMS that does just what they want and solves all their problems. If only life was that straightforward… Taking a step back, reducing this length of the requirements list and accepting that life is full of compromises – all of these are a good start, but in the end and CMS will bring about difficult changes and a host of their own problems.
Hopefully thought about this will result in some kind of 10-step self-help plan for damage limitation and identifying what really ought to matter for you.
