*Hi there,* *I am an application programmer (Java, PHP) and not an
experienced web development. I am currently investigating as to what is the
most appropriate/applicable open source platform/framework to develop a web
site (simple to start but more comprehensive into the future) for tourism or
tourist attractions (or maybe better not to use any framework/platform). The
following lists the basic support requirements (mainly multimedia,
interactivity and future proof) * *1. XHTML, JavaScript, Ajax* *2.
Multimedia – images, slides show, music, videos* *3. Simple blogging
facility * *4. Community, Feedbacks * *5. Emailing for registered
users (regular news release)* *6. Database (mySQL or similar)* *7.
Search ability (text based)* *8. Shopping facility (online, gift etc)*
*9. Management facility* *I have seen some CMS type of open system,
such as Xoops, Lenya, Daisy, etc. But I do not have enough knowledge to make
any choice decision. Just wondered if any experienced people here could help
me or shed some lights please.
* *I am a techi person and wouldn't mind the complicity of technology so
long as the job can be done efficiently and effectively and low cost.
* *Many thanks in advance,* *Mark*
