Hi Billy, Yes, so far I can echo your sentiments about Farcry, which is a shame. However, I shall persevere with my evaluation anyway. I'm happier with an open source CF based system if possible, because we will need to do some tweaking no doubt, or possibly add in our own components. The client has a requirement for a Flash media player and library, with dynamic content delivered according to user level, which I am imagining having to build myself - Flex sounds ideal for this.

It seemed pretty arcane as far as getting started and I didn't find much of a developer community. In contrast, I have done some recent work with DotNetNuke...(not even being a .NET developer) and it has been pretty easy to implement. Sometimes being a Microsoft stooge has benefits. :) I currently have a site running CFWebStore (a CMS/Ecommerce package) and another in development. It has a reasonable level of sophistication and flexibility while also being open source (but not free). An open source solution is desirable so that you can more easily fine-tune the application to meet specific client needs. -----Original Message----- From: Will Swain [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 27, 2007 10:41 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: cms I've been asked to evaluate off the shelf CMS packages for a client. So far, I'm looking at Hot Banana and FarCry. Anyone have any experience with these? Or any other suggestions for products to consider. Main requirements are flexibility, ease of use and ideally some multi-lingual abilities.
