This is a potential problem for places like Bryght, but I don't see Google really competing with mambo/joomla/xoops/drupal/phpnuke. I'm willing to bet that a Google CMS will be much better than a Drupal configuration that duplicates its precise functionality. Whether Google CMS will be able to adapt itself to match all the possible configurations of Drupal is a separate question entirely. What are the chances that this hypothetical google CMS will allow third-party plugins/modules to be run on the google servers? Slim to none, I'm betting. --Jeff

This has been in the back of my mind for a couple of months. What's to stop Google from hosting their own Drupal-like community software? It's inevetible in my opinion. Maybe not this year or next, but certainly within a decade.
