[AccessD] Orchard (was: Joomla)

Hi Jim

Well, it seems to fly a bit lower using one motor only, but that may be just fine for those simple projects you also meet. 
Perhaps even a normal user will be able to maintain such a site?

Hi all

And don't forget Microsoft's own Open-Source project, Orchard which is MVC
based:

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:

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.
