Charles,
Far from being 'my' exploration work, the majority of the website team has
contributed towards this project after the Steering Committee discussion and
the outcome of which, I am paraphrasing, to implement the Silverstripe CMS
on Drupal.org with a view to go with Drupal long term.

The progress made by many of the contributing members has been fantastic,
and although I have been the most vocal of the website development team
regarding the implementation of a community building and tooling site there
are many other people who have done fantastic work.

I will be applying to the Steering Committee soon to set a target date for
implementation in order to focus the website team on a tangible goal.

There does seem to be a little bit of misinformation out there regarding
this SC decision, but it is quite clear if you listen to the decision
outcome statement on the recording of the SC meeting.

I am sure this will be clarified when the website team applies for a further
decision on implementation.

Michael Wheatland
