Sounds like a good plan to me. The only suggestion I'd make is to look at something like Farcry for your CMS parts. Building a feature rich CMS from the ground up will take a lot of work. I'm lazy at times, which is why I like to leverage the experience of other projects, especially open source, because they've already learned from the mistakes I'd probably make.
One caveat: I've never used Farcry, but I've seen demos and have been impressed. Also, the farther you get away from CF 4.5, the harder it's going to be to upgrade. I'd suggest you start with CF 7 now. > -----Original Message----- > From: Rick Faircloth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, December 01, 2006 2:51 PM > > It sounds like a workable solution.
