WCM Application (Lenya)
WCM Services (Lenya) - sitemap, navigation, assets, processes
Web Application F/W (Cocoon)
Transformation and Publishing (Cocoon)
CMF (Alfresco) - repository, search, behaviour
i.e. versioning, trx., links, multi-lingual, meta-data, workflow
In summary, Lenya's architecture is gradually improving, but there is no aspect of Lenya that Alfredo doesn't already do much better, and there are so few active Lenya contributors that there should be little expectation of major improvements in the future.
