When/where can we buy this for use at home?

Self-updating means that WordPress needs to be allowed to write to more places than just the "uploads" directory. Which is frightening, and a security risk.

Very few remotes in Belgium indeed. I know of less than a dozen others.

QReadWriteLock predates C++11 by many years.

Well, the video indisputably shows the opposite. It's quite ridiculous to claim an improved UX and then show the UX that is apparently an edge case.

To then downvote, that's just sad.

Then why doesn't the interface reflect the building blocks of the structured content?

Where the video says "The Django CMS interface", the interface is clearly page-centric, not structured content-centric. It has building blocks like "feature-visual", "bg-home.jpg", "feature-content", "container", "row", "column col-md-24" etc.

How is that structured content?

Perhaps it can do structured content, but then why doesn't the video put that front and center? Is this perhaps an "also" feature, for building landing pages? Then why does the marketing talk about "content editors"?

So perhaps it's just the marketing that oversimplifies things? :)

Very glad to hear that :)

What a great description! It perfectly describes my impression.

Awful authoring experience for non-technical users. Which doesn't mean it's not excellent for certain use cases :)

Indeed, Drupal 8 is first and foremost a data modeling tool. It's for structured content, not pages.

It allows you to reuse that structured content in many ways, everywhere.

(Django CMS as demonstrated in the video is purely about building pages, which makes it — if I'm being a bit harsh — just a glorified MS FrontPage.)
