Really complex questions, besides the solutions you mentioned already there are other commercial alternatives that are less known, solutions that cost money but for which you get professional support and that can be quite handy.
Two such projects (there are probably many more) built upon symfony: 1. At Symfony Live there was a presentation from Marcos Labad @Acilia Internet who developed a CMS for clients, looked really nice. http://acilia.es/sistemas-cms http://www.slideshare.net/esmiz/implementing-a-symfony-based-cms-in-a-publishing-company 2. Ocari - a CMS/CMF built in collaboration with Sensio Labs http://www.sensiolabs.com/blog/post/2010/03/19/Ocari,-nouvelle-solution-de-gestion-de-contenu-d%C3%A9di%C3%A9e-au-monde-de-la-Presse In our company we have a similar situation, (.net CMF that is being phased out for a PHP alternative) but there was no decision about what to use as a replacement. The current solutions being considered are Wordpress and Drupal since it's easier to get started but I think in the long run choosing any of those would be a bad idea. Good luck with your project! gabriel On May 27, 12:49 am, Daniel <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi! > > I'm the CTO of a media group company in Sweden.
