- How about getting some cheap Webspace, a Domain and running your own Webmail Client? squirrelmail Supports nested folders (I think most IMAP clients do). No "big" freemailer (msn, yahoo, gmx, gmail) supports nested folders I fear...
I love it...
) The Interface Video Demo on channel 9 was great - go and get the Beta2 at: http://www.microsoft...beta/getthebeta.mspx I like the semi-static PHP approach - if we have comments on the pages, it is nearly impossible to be 100% static - but 1 call to the Forums DB should be cheap.
- Output should be static HTML/php pages for minimal CPU performance hit.

this would solve my point above, but then it is not possible to do it "static"? Or do I miss the point?
- Ideally it would integrate into the forum software to support searching.

This is one method - anotherone would be to create something like a "summery" Post in the Forum for each "content" page. Then the comments can easily go to the forum (which means no spam, new members and authentication for free). Displaying on the "content" page would very easy - just pulling them out of the database.
- It must integrate into the forum to the extent that its easy for people to add comments on downloads and articles.

Huh??? - Sorry, I don't get it...
- A generic template system that can build on demand create static HTML website hierarchy of pages from "templates" and a hierarchy of content pages.

This would be a great feature - something like a personal portal
- Such a system of being able to extract info from posts might also enable us to build a kind of "bookmarking" system where users can mark which posts threads they want to assemble on a page like a portal.

Such a table could be really painfull - and this is the BIG problem with the static approach *ImScared* - and I don't know how often we had to generate static pages - maybe we should drop the static approach and invest time on some caching strategies?
- A generic rebuilding-table might be kept track of so the system knows which static pages need to be rebuild when certain forum "posts" change or are added.

But then i'm also thinking a static page generation cms using templates would be best for low-cpu usage (having every page access go through a dynamic cms is a big hit on cpu/memory because of database stuff).This could be done with Typo3 easily - you can cache Pages or even create Static HTML files after changing a page-mouser (May 16, 2006, 04:15 AM)
And I like having the main site content be in flat files that i can easily edit from home.Hmmm... this is more the wiki thing - or the Flatfile Version of Mambo (It was a Fork from the original Mambo - dont remember the name right now
) - on the other Hand - if you would like to change the layout form home, you could just modify the templates and if you want to create content just use a text editor and pasting it the next time your on the cmsBut tight forum integration is a must..This is not trivial - in fact I think the tight integration is the killer argument for the choosen CMS - on www.tutorials.de (one of the biggest german it-help-communities), which is very forum "centric" we tried to integrate the forum on Typo3 - we failed - so we built the "content" pages around the forum - I think this is the same way you do with the current version of this page...
this can be done with Typo3 out of the box
- good clean organization for website admin to edit files by hand with custom html
- but ability for other authors to write articles/long reviews with an easy onsite editor
- php would be preferred since most everything else on this site is powered by php
- good search features.
- looks clean and supports our sidebar theme.
this is imo more a conceptual thing - when you can define what "nicely" means, than you could do it in most cms (building seperate sections with different layouts and so on...)
- ability for coders to be able to host their software nicely
tight integration with smf forum so people can leave comments on reviews, etc. through the forum and have it listed on the pageI know no CMS which does this well...
It's more a Blog thing I think - This feature will be a hack - regardless which cms will be chosenthere is nothing that meets all of these and i expect lots of customization and modification is going to be needed no matter what we choose, but i'm still hoping to start with something instead of starting from scratch..You are 100% right - there is nothing which offers all of those points and building from scratch is no option - it would grow way to complex. I personly would do this project on a Typo3 (dont hate me Carol
) basis with some self coded extensions and I would drop the flatfile requirement... Yes - T3 has a huge learning curve, but it is so incredibly powerfull - it's the C++ in the CMS space
Donation Coder Highlights
I feel a variety of apps at Donation Coder are worth mentioning here. Several are similar to requests I've seen on the forums, or even other apps. Here are a few worth checking out:
Dkmy: "Hide or show the close box of a window to avoid accidental closure"
HideDesktop: "Hide the desktop icons when the mouse is elsewhere."
StartClock: "Shows the current time in the start button, and date and more in the tray."
FadingTaskbar: "Change the transparency of the taskbar."
Kansas: Switches the shell to explorer and logs off. Designed for those testing out alternative shells. (scroll down on page or d/l here)
LaunchBar Commander: A program launcher. Might be skinnable. I haven't tries it yet, but this may warrant a full new post.
