The Freak Parade

A while ago I did a survey of some the CMS solutions available for the .NET platform. While there are currently a very large number of both commercial and open source CMS solutions available, the one that really caught my attention wasn’t available at the time for public review. Now it is not only available for download in either source or binary format, but is backed by what at first blush appears to be pretty extensive documentation via a dedicated wiki.

I’ll be taking a closer look at this over the next few weeks, but my general feeling is that this product will add tremendous value to the community, despite the many existing CMS products already available, and I am very excited to kick the tires.

Sample Sites

Additionally, they have two case studies already of full blown, production sites built on their new system. The case studies give a brief overview of the projects and link to the live sites. Both of the case study web sites are Hungarian, though, so the experience is a bit awkward (unless you can read Hungarian, of course), but still gives you a flavor for the CMS.
