Thanks for stopping by. I’ve been involved with building custom CMS’s with both classic ASP and later ASP.NET. A CMS in its simplest form is relatively easy to build, especially with ASP.NET 2.0+; however building a full featured system with workflow, content locking, a good template system, a good WYSIWYG, flexible navigation, etc. takes a lot of development effort, as I’m sure you know.

Do you plan to take the Open Source route and encourage open community development? This is one way to build your system with help, if you can peak interest and get buy-in. There are not that many Open Source CMS projects base upon ASP.NET (C#). I’d like to see a good one. I’m looking forward to seeing your system. I wish you the best of luck with your development. Keep us posted.

I’m currently developing my own CMS, csharpBB. It will be more of a community engine, where you can setup forums, blogs, articles, etc. It is based on modules so you can extend each module as you wish, and build off the base functionality that each ‘module’ has.
