There is another thing about developers though. They tend to create something completely new while there are solutions out there that almost fit the bill. Instead of creating a brand new CMS another approach could be to improve / extend an existing (open source?) CMS. On sourceforge there are loads of existing systems. That helps the other common issue with developers as well. They tend to never actually finish something. They start with everything, but after a while they get bored and move on to something else resulting in the next unfinished project on their harddisk :) I'm curious about your view of your website CMS. I'm hoping to find more of that here later :) It’s always fun to create something to your likings. There is another thing about developers though.
