Hi Martin, 

The original idea behind this template was to aggregate as many "Web 2.0" 
applications and features as possible to be able to address as many 
enterprise needs as possible. 

* Regarding Web content management and Document management, similar features 
have been grouped in a common services section for features such as 
search,versionning to avoid the overlapping you mention.

* However, I agree with you on the fact that the web content management needs 
more work to add features like virtual sandboxing, ease of deployment, 
rollbacks, access tracking, etc...

* Rereading the classification / metadata section, it is obvious some features 
are missing such as virtual views, category tagging, standards support, meta 
data aspect injection...

* Regarding packaging, this is a discussion i had multiple times with other 
members of the QSOS project. I agree with you that, for me, web applications 
render the packaging issue a moot point ! However some argue that even some 
Web Applications are supplied by packages handled by a package installation 
system such as yum, apt... This eases the deployment of said applications in 
many cases, and so it is worth mentionning it.


Let me know what you think,
Best regards,
