FarCry shares some of the same theoretical approaches to content management that Spectra had, but none of the internal machinery. Most peoples difficulty with FarCry stems from the installation -- and often this is caused by an assumption that reading the manual is not required. FarCry CMS is an out of the box solution that runs atop the FarCry Framework. It's both a solution and a tool box for building more sophisticated options. Although still in beta FarCry 4.0 is shaping up to be a very exciting release for developers. Probably not something you want to race out and install if you don't like to tinker, but well worth keeping an eye out. geoff http://www.farcrycms.org/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:259206 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
