I agree about the goal as described in the proposal - maybe we need to
make it clearer there, as in reality I think the projects are further
apart than that.
My understanding is that Clerezza aims to be an out-of-the-box
solution to build websites and web applications based on semantic
storage of content. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
The goals of FOO are broader IMO, and less "industrial" in many ways.
While some components of FOO might be assembled to do the above, the
main use of those components, is to provide *other* CMS platforms with
semantic components, which might be more more experimental than the
Clerezza production-ready stuff.
So, although there's a sizable interesection between the FOO and
Clerezza components, I think the end goal is quite different,
sufficiently so to warrant two distinct projects.

IMO the best is to view Clerezza and FOO as sister projects, with lots
of exchanges between their communities and a sizable chunk of common
software components, but different end goals and audiences. This will
enable both projects to follow their own goals while finding
synergies.
Maybe this needs to be better spelled out in the proposal and project
charter, I'm open to suggestions on that.
