The article is interesting and raises a few points although in a very simplistic idealistic way, what he is asking for is a cake and eat it, but as I said idealistic.
One thing I did like and it is something thathas bothered me a little is Quote:
Users of a public web site should never -- never -- be presented with a way to log into the CMS.

now I moved my login block right down in the page, but it still seems intrusive, but I want people to regiter eventually to allow forum participation, I am not so green as to offer the world a free soap box, so I need a login maybe I just need a link to the login or an icon or or .... ant thoughts on this.

What he means is that the CMS itself should not be visible to the website user. XOOPS' login is for the website itself, because XOOPS is a community oriented system. What should not be visible (and isn't in XOOPS) is a login for the system admin, visible for normal visitors.

This follows the idea I have on what a true CMS is (search for the true CMS thread started by Draven )

The "Why do you insist Web sites have "columns"?" part, should be noted for block discussion on sf!

The statement "then styled in whatever column format we want using CSS", supports the notion I provided.

That makes sense, I like the fact that XOOPS allows or hides the membership side of things a little, I am a little troubled by the need to offer an open site that allows casual visitors and of course the Bots access to information but limits the interactive side of the site to registered users, I don't wish to reward one set of users by penalising another, cleary XOOPS has it's roots in on line communities (gaming it seems) but I thinks it has become much more and capable of a lot more.
The basic functionality is there, we just need a little more though in future usews for the system.
My need was clear and it fills most of my sites requirements and those it is a little lacking in I intended to try and fill.
