That said, if you want to build a SaaS style solution that segments customers into different sites and everyone is in the same database it's relatively straightforward. FarCry CMS won't help you, but using FarCry the underlying framework can make short work of the task. The Daemonites have built and maintain several multi-site applications. Of course Justin's warnings regarding content leakage, and general administration are very real problems but I think these are issues that would need to be addressed on any platform. -- geoff http://www.daemon.com.au/ skype. gb.daemon twitter. @modius -- You received this message cos you are subscribed to "farcry-dev" Google group.
