Calling a spade a spade

To communicate what #Hubzilla is all about it may help to use/finde a term/name which helps to do so.

Hubzilla is quite different than Mastodon and all other know App in the Fediverse. We should make clear what the differences are so that there are no misunderstanding from begin with.

What does the community think of the new formed Term like:

S-CMS

"Social - ContentManagmentSystem"

To be frank, it's not really a very good content management system (CMS) in its current form. WordPress and almost every other CMS has a better user interface (UI). So promoting Hubzilla as a CMS will end badly for us, unless we completely redesign the CMS portion of the interface.

It is a suitable structure for building a website, if you are a developer, but it is not really a very good CMS for non-tech users.

The social part of Hubzilla is similar to Facebook. And I think that is what most people use Hubzilla for. The wiki, articles, and web pages are ways to customize your channel, but need more features to be considered a competitive content management system.

For me HZ is all about the options to manage all different kinds of content in a decentralized network. HZ has it all today to do so. What is lacking in parts are good editors for creating content... but if external offline editors are used we can publish and manage this content in a network very well today with HZ as no other Fediverse app can do.

The UI could be more intuitive... but because there are no other examples and HZ the only S-CMS that takes ground here the questions for a more intuitive UI are hard to answer.

To be frank, if people are looking for a more FB like app i would always advice to go for streams/Forte. HZ is just to much for that kind of demands.
