I think we should also be considering the other major players in the
CMS game, if there are people available to deploy and maintain them.
Drupal and Joomla! immediately come to mind, the latter especially
because it actually has some DocBook XML support.  Features aren't
particularly compelling, though, if we have no one around to help with
the maintenance.

None of this has any bearing on the quality of Zikula, which I'm sure
is excellent.
