Odminko: CMS on ExtJS 2.0. What to do with it now?

I have an idea and a working CMS layout. The working title is Odminko :-) I would like it (CMS) to evolve to the level of a commercial product. One I can not bring the project to this level. We need to decide what to do with the project.


Ideology:

- simple management system simple site. The power of Drupal is not needed for 80% of sites. The extra functions of heavy systems make it difficult to work and require a lot of resources.
- the development site is engaged in the developer. The user is engaged in filling. From this it follows that editing materials should be as convenient as possible: downloading photos in two clicks with the mouse, editing the site structure by dragging and dropping elements in the tree, and so on. And to change the site template, you can also get into the XLST-template codes.
- editing all things (templates, modules, styles) via the web-based administrator interface (however, this does not cancel the ability to work via ftp).
you need to try to help the user to make a convenient and easily scalable site. I will not describe this point in a nutshell, but there are thoughts :-)

Key features:
')
- JavaScript frontend using ExtJS 2.0
- XSLT Design Templates, CSS Styles
- modules for object-oriented programmers in a simple language (at the moment it is Parser, but nothing prevents to rewrite everything in php, phyton or basic)

Pictures (tyk-tyk to view in normal size):

Development options that I see:

- put the source code in open access and try to attract developers to the project (to organize a support forum, at least)
- do the same, but in the reverse order (so that a more or less strong product is already released)
- sell to someone along with the source
- #rm -rf odminko * (arguments: CMS is already divorced like dirt, ExtJS is a controversial technology, cool professionals have to deal with development ...)

What I want to know:

Is it worth doing?
Should I open the source and ... and what to do next? ))
Or search for developers in the team ...
Or sell this business for a penny.

Now Odminko v.0.9.5 works quite successfully on several sites. Users like it, but the level of WTF is still far from zero. For the admin interface, gz-compression is used, so that it weighs no more than 200Kb with all WYSIWYG. Odminko works in three main browsers without any problems. There are difficulties with FuCKeditor.

The tags used in the Habré, I still can not see, so the topic is decorated a little clumsy ... Sorry.
