Cheers Ross...very plain and concise ;-) I see you are also on the fence which is good!
I will stick to FarCry as we can do what we want with it really... -----Original Message----- From: Ross Williams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 17 September 2003 15:53 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] Shado CMS Yup - but with that kind of logic no commercial company would be around!! And most seem to be doing alright. At the end of the day you get what you pay for. Most companies are happy with a license fee, knowing that they get a guaranteed service, support and quality. They are different products though - I haven't used Farcry a great deal, so I'm not the best person to compare - and I don't think you should be comparing unless you've tried both options. May be Daemon will make more money now that they've put Farcry out to Open Source - perhaps not. Farcry was a commercial product - now it's gone open-source. You can draw your own conclusions from that. Oh, and that extensibility issue ;o) - yup, you should definitely speak to Straker!! Extensibility and developer-friendliness are core features to Shado. If you can find 30 minutes, ask Straker for a presentation - I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised!

I dont believe Shado can compete ever with Open Source as you have the wealth and breadth of possibly thousands of deelopers improving things over a company developing a tool to make money... -----Original Message----- From: Ross Williams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 17 September 2003 15:38 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] Shado CMS Neil, it's probably best to get stuck in with both so you can see for yourself. Have a play with both and you can then compare easily, R -----Original Message----- From: Robertson-Ravo, Neil (RX) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 17 September 2003 15:30 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] Shado CMS not really much of a comparison is it? -----Original Message----- From: Ross Williams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 17 September 2003 15:20 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] Shado CMS I'll throw my tuppence in here then!! (info at http://www.rawnet.com/products/shado-mx/shado-mx_home.cfm) We first came across Shado late last year and it is an absolute dream. Alex is much more knowledgeable than myself on the comparison of Shado vs Farcry - they are for very different scenarios though. If you take a look at Shado in detail and play around with it for a bit, it should become very obvious. We offer a 30-day evaluation of Shado to qualified prospects, or you could approach Straker direct. It's certainly worth comparing both products - the price tag of Shado isn't generally an issue for clients (particularly as you can lease the license if required, spreading cost over 3-5 years). When you look at the feature set compared to other commercial CMS products, it fares very favourably. Enough preaching - so endeth the sermon of the Shado, Cheers, Ross ------------------------------------------------------- RAWNET LIMITED - Internet, New Media and ebusiness Gurus Visit our new website at http://www.rawnet.com for more information about our company, or call us anytime on 01344 393 040. ------------------------------------------------------- Ross Williams Managing Director, Rawnet Limited Direct Phone : +44 (0) 1344 393 440 Switchboard : +44 (0) 1344 393 040 ------------------------------------------------------- This message may contain information which is legally privileged and/or confidential.

Not really comparable. Depends what you're trying to achieve.

Is it easy to implement and customise/modify as per requirements? Any feedback/comments/experience of using this cms would be helpful.
