Below is a re-post of my original post - hopefully a CEO would
understand it.  I'll try for something a little more explicitly
targetted at a CEO -

Dan (talking to his CEO) -

"Boss.  Look at this new Drupal thingie that Bèr came up with.  All I
have to do is install Drupal and fill in this form and *bam* I instantly
have a menu system and website. Cool huh?"


In short I think that a summary of the above would be to say "impose a
'simple' information architecture (IA) and navigational context (menus)
for a 'brochure' website" - the IA is a simple hierarchy and some
blocks.  I should be able to "declare" something like the following -

   Government
        Education

        Wireless
         POTS

Once that is done I should have a site with menus - DONE

This by the way is a Joomla killer imho (tm).
