IA frontier

having met christina wodtke of boxesandarrows.com fame, i am convinced that the frontier for CMS is in the user-facing layers (information architecture especially), not in the bowels. The lower CMS layers are being commoditized, or at least are maturing considerably.
as a tool vendor, it is our quest to help users develop accessible sites with a sound information architecture. if the tools could somehow steer the users to do the right things by virtue of following the path of least resistance.. this is the real frontier. i will ponder this subject a bit more in the coming days.
oh and christina referred to me as the crazy swiss and was very intrigued by our experience with oscom. in fact, she invited me to a IA conference in february in austin. i’m intrigued.
