 Hi

 we have implemented a shared-site solution based on Midgard.

 http://www.toppharm.ch/sitemap/ (Master Site)

 http://gundeli.apotheke.ch/sitemap/
 http://aarburg.apotheke.ch/sitemap/
 (+ 70 other pharmacy sites)

 But I think your requirement to be able to run/handle existing sites
 based on ASP will limit your choices.

 Btw. Magnolia is another Open Source CMS Solution based on Java.

    Betreff: [midgard-user] Opensource CMS Evaluation Question

SL> Hi all,

>>
>> I am absolutely new to open source CMS and community. As I am working
>> on a CMS project for my organization (in Education field) and 
>> evaluating a few open source CMS systems.
>>
>> I would like to ask for your suggestions on the evaluation and systems.
>>
>> The current situation is we run four websites on two web servers both
>> on Windows Server (btw, we do not expect the CMS must run on windows).
>> Existing sites have custom applications using JSP with Macromedia JRun
>> on one server and ASP and IIS on another server. Major parts of the
>> sites are static such as news, articles, course description, faculty
>> directory, etc. The primary purpose of the CMS initiative is because
>> we have a lot of information shared among those four sites such as 
>> news. They appear on each site with different look and feel. We want
>> to manage single source of content and capable of publishing it to the
>> four websites. Another requirement is we want to maintain the ability
>> to run those existing custom ASP/JSP pages with the CMS system.
>>
>> So I kinda envision that the CMS should be on the back end separated
>> from the live site, storing the content on the CMS and be able to 
>> generate static page and send to the live server.
>>
>> The open source system that we are currently looking are Apache Lenya,
>> Typo3, OpenCMS and Midgard. Currently it seems to me that none of them
>> capable of our requirement out of the box. As I am trying to find a
>> way. I have a few question would like to ask for your suggestion.
>>
>> - From the requirement above, do you happen to know any open source

>> - If you have experience with Apache Lenya, Typo3, OpenCMS or Midgard
>> could you please share a bit on the how it compare to each other and
>> amount of work that need to be done to do the functionality that we need.
>> - Any resource or suggestion for me at all.
>>
>> Thank you very much, I really appreciate your help.

>> Saranyu L.
