A list of actions to test in order to have results comparable between CMS. These actions are supposed to be the most important and/or frequent of the wgo daily usage. They should be easy to perform and provide the desired results.

Ranks: 0 Not supported - 1 Partially possible - 2 Possible but complex - 3 Possible and easy

Testers: Gergely "Greg" Nagy, Jeff Waugh, Joachim Noreiko, Quim Gil. You can join us if you have the time and will to go through the 5 CMSs. You don't need to be CMS experts since the maintenance of wgo should be feasible for non CMS experts (at least the most frequent actions).
