I'm just talking with Jens on IRC (#quanta channel) about Drupal's
features. The truth is that I like some things it can do, but also it is
very true what Chris wrote here.
 I'm very undecided which way to go. :) So I'd like to get some feedback
about which way we should go.
 Of course, I don't want to write eg. our own forum software. Probably
would be also nice to provide a way for users to add content to the site,
like tutorials, articles, maybe blogs.
 As I see a mix of a CMS and our code is something I'd like to see. But as
I'm only a developer (and mainly C++ developer), I really don't know what
is better.
 I'm also interested in the opinion of the subsite application maintainers.
