I’ve been using silverstripe for a few weeks now and googled ’silverstripe get stage’ and came across your blog, im very impressed with SS so far but its been a very slow and painful journey – I’ve had to jump onto the #silverstripe channel freenode (IRC) to get alot of questions answered..

apart from that it does alot of great things out the box, but im thinking sooner or later im going to have to bite the bullet and get my head around Drupal

I'd be really interested in a follow-up if you've pursued it further... ;) Agree that I'd welcome more documentation and it seems like a certain amount of the existing docs and tutorials haven't been updated yet for the latest 2.4 release... To me it feels like it has quite a bit of catching up to get on a par with CodeIgniter or cake PHP on the tutorials and docs side but then they've have a head-start and larger communities at this stage. SilverStripe themselves cite the Democratic Convention site as the best example of handling high traffic volumes (quote from their own site): From the official press release from the Democratic National Committee: "DemConvention.com received more than 3.2 million visits totaling more than 2.6 billion hits during Convention week. More than 350,000 hours of video were watched by DemConvention.com visitors as the DNC site offered live gavel-to-gavel coverage in High-Definition (HD) in both English and Spanish for the first time in Convention history." The site handled the load with flair, not breaking a sweat even during the heaviest load times such as during Barack Obama's live-streamed acceptance speech. Hi, thanks for that short review.
