Edith,
Stay on Mainstream standard Plone unless you have overwhelming reasons to
want to "put all your eggs in one basket".
You have options to enable closer integration of the sites by:
o Arranging to have one central point of authentication (LDAP)
[Oxfam have done very interesting work on this ]
o Arranging to have cross site search (possibly using Google Search boxes)
[Oxfam know most of the issues with that as they have used Google]
o Use RDF / RSS feeds to provide integration of new news articles both
within SOMA and ALL of your Partners. [standard facilities in Plone ]
o Using a common brand / style and cascading style sheets.
You can de-couple many of the issues of the different sites. And try to
get one site going quickly - and build a success momentum as you go. It's an
easier people change management process within your organisation and
partners. (Decision making will be faster ).
It will also be much easier when you come to upgrade through future Plone
releases.
Regards, Peter
