Nice to see such a long thread on GP.

The bottom line for GP was the tight integration of drupal with a CRM
system, the name of which I didn't remember. It was mainly this feature
that made GP choose for Drupal, because they are allready using that CRM
system.

Allthough somebody from GP went to the Ploneability conf, their biggest
impression was that Plone has a lot of issues with performance. Which
might say more about the person visiting Ploneability than the
conference itself.

Another big thing that scared them was the budget. They heard about what
Oxfam had paid for their system.

Just to inform you ;)
