I've been involved in the FarCry project since its inception and have a clear vested interest, but for what it's worth, here are my thoughts... Sava This is a CMS solution. It's not specifically designed to be customised and extended. By comparison FarCry is a web application framework you could use to build a "Sava". Razuna This is a digital asset management solution, with content management options. If you are after DAM this might be an ideal fit. If you are after a customisable web application platform your mileage may vary. FarCry FarCry is a web application framework for building content rich websites. It is built to be be modified. Over the years we have established a feature rich, out of the box solution for those not so interested in doing development -- FarCry CMS (the framework plus a collection of plugins). FarCry 5.0 supports: Adobe ColdFusion, OpenBD and Railo. MSSQL, mySQL, Postgres and Oracle. Windows, Linux and OSX. IIS and Apache. FarCry has a very active community and many friendly faces happy to help out where possible (http://groups.google.com/group/farcry-dev). Couple with that a range of commercial support services including priority support, development and instructor lead training and you have a great foundation for even the most ambitious web applications. To get a quick insight into how it works, here are some recordings I did earlier in the year: http://www.farcrycore.org/go/blog-post/recordings-of-farcry-in-action And a fairly detailed interview I did with Sitepoint: http://www.sitepoint.com/article/geoff-bowers-farcry-framework/ Last but not least, the recent addition of the Jump Start course has really made FarCry far more accessible to everyone: http://org.farcrycore.s3.amazonaws.com/docs/farcry-jumpstart-500-20080905.pdf Hopefully that helps! -- geoff http://www.daemon.com.au/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:313259 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
