I've been looking for a simple, intuitive ASP.NET based CMS to handle my club/association site.
It should be
- based on ASP.NET so I can add some extra specific pages
- offer a membership system, e.g. I want to be able to define members which can e.g. comment posts, while anonymous users can only read (no active participation)
- have features like news, forums, blogs, picture gallery
- be simple and easy to use
I've been looking at
- GraffitiCMS: so far my favorite, but it has no forum, and no membership system, and no future, it seems - no development whatsoever in over a year :-(
- Sitefinity: had extreme trouble even getting it installed, and when it's finally up and running, I find it overly complicated and not intuitive at all
- Umbraco: same problem - hard to install, hard to get up and running, the intro videos on their site are only available to paying subscribers (what's up with that deal???).....
- DotNetNuke: seems like a major overkill
- Community Server: seems like a major overkill - and seems to be more and more commercial, only
Any others I've missed that I should have definitely looked at ??
