It was interesting to see that there was nothing about process-oriented 
requirements. e.g. workflow/staging/versioning requirements, 
authorisation levels, security, etc. I've seen similar skewed 
requirements sets occur in another organisation where the IT team was 
completely left out of the requirements process. Yes, the end users' 
requirements are paramount, but there needs to be more, because they 
often don't think of things like this. I have evaluated Drupal versus 
Plone in the past, and workflows, authorisation, security flexibility 
etc. was where there was a large difference. Maybe it has improved since 
then (but now Plone also has the joys of Placeful Workflows).

Reuse of content: what about exporting and importing content in Plone? 
What are they getting at here?

Cheers,
Sam.
