[AccessD] Joomla

Hi Darryl --

If not DNN then - the most primising for ASP.NET CMS should be Orchard CMS
IMO.

Orchard CMS
http://orchardproject.net/

or as Gustav noted

Umbraco CMS
http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/how-tos/a-complete-newbie%27s-guide-to-umbraco

To simplify their (as well as Joomla!, DNN, Acquia Drupal...) sample setups
you can use

Web Platform Installer (WPI)
http://www.microsoft.com/web/Downloads/platform.aspx 

Composite C1 codebase seems to be to advanced.
I have looked through it some time ago - it's very advanced I must note -
not for mere mortals - at least I decided to escape it.
I can be wrong - just my opinion...

Thank you.

At a glance the Composite C1 site looks the most promising for me.  Will try
and look at that tonight after work.

Thanks for that. :)
Darryl.

Hi Jim

That depends, but if you are looking for CMS-style systems, at least two
top-notch Open Source systems for .NET exist.

Composite C1:
http://www.composite.net/C1.aspx 

Umbraco:
http://www.umbraco.org 

They are quite different - and both different from DNN - and I haven't had a
need for either of them so I cannot advice further.

Hi Ken:

To be honest, I have never been able to get a client fully self-sufficient
and after 30 plus have basically given up on it. ;-)

Joomla, like DNN may not be the product I need. So far, when building web
sites I use ASP.Net to build the mock up/lay our and then go in and remove
the extra pieces (lots and lots of extra pieces as every possible option is
code managed), while stuffing in some of my own code. It is not a super fast
construction method but it is getting faster and it is quicker than building
the whole site from scratch.

I do not know if any other person uses this crude hack method but is there a
good pre-existing clean frame-work so I do not need to re-invent the wheel.

Jim
