[opencms-dev] Situation of OpenCMS - WAS: Alkacon OAMP WebForm download

[Thomas Schmidt]

Hello,
that is a good question for the OpenCMS guys. 
I really would like to understand where the journey goes with OpenCMS too. 
I like OpenCMS (especially because it is NOT PHP) - as well as many of the functions and way of how things are done. However Documentation is at some points very challenging - apparently simple things might take hours, a lot of code review and even more trial and error to get it work. And then great things like the Form Editor are not maintained and take tremendous effort to make them somehow work. 
As said - would be good to understand the overall situation of OpenCMS to get an idea if we all have soon to switch to ugly things like wordpress ;-)

Thanks
BR
