Hi Frans, A lot of work we do is CMS based and the tool of choice which we use is MCMS but it is expensive, we want to develop a lower costing CMS that we can offer to our clients as a cheaper alternative.
That is why we want to take a good opensource base and customize it to our needs. That is why I was put off by dnn, I did not like the VB.NET source. Thanks Paul [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If so, the person who's controlling the website, does that person understand what it takes to design a website and above all: add the right information to the website for the potential visitors? A CMS often opens up the road for the manager to 'control the website as he sees fit' which results in a lot of cases in a horrible website, lack of info etc. I always advice people to pick the CMS which is recommended by the team of specialists which will setup and control the website. 2) you seem to forget that a CMS is a tool. So you should pick the tool which works the best and has the most features. When I check the screenshots of cuyahoga, no offence but that's not even DNN 1.0.
