Hi Mark, Interestingly enough, I was just up there looking at FarCry myself yesterday. We just launched a largish Plum app that has close to 1000 docs in the CMS that are all in a SQL Server database. While it works, it has been painful at times. I think the Plum CMS works great for small to mid-size sites (which is what it is really meant for in it's current state), but it is painful to work around issues like dynamic menus, new doc creation etc.
>From what I saw, I would think that it would be a mistake to try to marry the two. FarCry has it's own framework, core api, and backend, and I think if you went that route for a project, you would be better off not trying to marry the two together. FarCry looks like it has a significant learning curve for new developers, but a lot of developers have good things to say about it if you are into that type of environment. Maybe Adam or David can chime in, but I don't think it would be wise to go down that path, personally. This would be one area I would like to see improved upon in Plum. Maybe if the we have the 'Gathering of Plums' meeting in preparation for the next round, we can talk about this. I would personally like to see document checkouts, on-the-fly page creation (new templates), menu generation etc. built into the core CMS functionality. It doesn't need to compete with the full-fledged CMS apps out there, but it could stand some improvement, IMO.

I would be interested in using farcry for the front end and Plum for the application in the backend. Would that work, or would thay start interfering with each other? http://www.farcrycms.org/ Thanks, Mark Fuqua ********************************************************************** You can subscribe to and unsubscribe from lists, and you can change your subscriptions between normal and digest modes here: http://www.productivityenhancement.com/support/DiscussionListsForm.cfm ********************************************************************** ********************************************************************** You can subscribe to and unsubscribe from lists, and you can change your subscriptions between normal and digest modes here: http://www.productivityenhancement.com/support/DiscussionListsForm.cfm **********************************************************************
