Midgard in 2007: the year of the web developer

Henri Bergius has posted some Midgard plans for the year 2007 :

Software-wise, 2005 and 2006 have been good years for Midgard. MidCOM established itself as the default way of building things and became a lot faster and user-friendly. Developers got cool new tools like Query Builder, Collector and MgdSchema. We also integrated with external packages like Squid for content caching, Lucene for full-text search and Funambol for mobile device synchronization. Geographic awareness and Microformats integration also add interesting possibilities to the system.

However, community-wise I feel we also lost something. These new functionalities have mostly been gained at the expense of the installation becoming more difficult and the system harder to understand. And as the learning curve becomes steeper, new users and developers may pick some less powerful CMS instead of Midgard as their choice.

In 2007 I think we should focus on this problem: Making Midgard more accessible to the normal web developer.
