Re: external image of SPIP, compared to other CMS : what do you think about it ?

Hi Gilles:

The most important points for me were already mentionted. I agree with
Heiko when he says the "internal script" is not the important but the
documentation. He says "...the lack of an consistent documentation for
non-french speaking developers". I am using SPIP since 2 years now,
and I still see the non-french documentation of SPIP as a big
confusing cloud. Of course I dont mention it to people I talk about
the great SPIP... But its something that get me tired... and makes me
waste a lot of time and effort. When I started, I dindt get away with
this mainly because the spanish list is so great, that I always have
an answer there.

And of course we are free to translate, but as Martin said is a
terrible effort, and there is no enough time neither people able to do
it... It would be so great to have everything in English at the day is
coming out the documentation.

For me on the other hand the idea of French is very "romantic" but
this is a reality: All my colegues can read and interpret technical
English with no problem at all.

Hope you get my idea. And thanks for your interest!
