Hi, I think that Zend is a great Framework and developing a CMS with it will be cool and not to hard. But there are approximately 1 Billion CMS (open and closed source) around in the web. Developing a new one would be, in my point of view, just a wast of time. If you don't have very special requirements take a exsisting one and try to improve it and give your code back to the comunity. I never heard of MySource Matrix, probably you should evaluate other CMS as well, like Typo 3, Freeflux, phpCMS and more (just type php cms into google).
Just my two cents, leo -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Waigani [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 13.

For the past three months I've been developing a CMS with Zend Framework. It has gone very well and has had good feed back. There are many departments that want to come on board as well as campuses in other cities. It answers a lot of the interoperability problems with languages, databases etc within the university. I did a seminar on it today and now have a core group of developers who are interested in pushing it further. Problem is: a college just showed me mysource Matrix, which is the competition. Have I just wasted the past three months? It already does everything I'm developing, and if it does not, it can be extended / developed. It already has huge buy in from governments and education departments. - Why would anyone develop a CMS in Zend Framework? - What advantages does Zend Framework have over Mysource Matrix for producing RIAs? - Are there any other Zend Framework developers that would be interested in collaborating to create a professional open source Zend Framework CMS? (Built on the Zend Classes it could grow very quickly, and we are off to a good start). - Or should I accept defeat, and if so can the framework integrate with mysource matrix?
