    "Envolution" started as a fork from the PostNuke project some time ago.

    If you go to http://www.envolution.com/ you will find a lot more information.

    Warm Regards,

    Hmmm.... I don't "obviously" do much of anything. :?

    I would advise you to make your own decisions since it is your own work/time that is going to be involved.:) Of course, the "easiest" solutions are probably going to be fully developed fee-ware solutions, wherein you pay for the product and establish a support contract. There are MANY.

    Over the past several years, I've been more prone to be attracted to follow "Open Source" solutions where possible - primarily for several Non-Profit and Not-for-profit Organizations I personally support that cannot afford large IT expenditures.

    Making a decision between all the different *Open Source*, PHP-driven CMS projects can be a little difficult in itself. On top of that, there are those driven by Perl, Zope (python), ASP, JSP, the list goes on and on.

    At last count, I had looked at 39 of them since early last spring, (not counting encompass/envolution). Some were in-depth looks, while others were more cursory in nature.

    See this article for a partial list you might find interesting:
    http://www.intux.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=4&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0

    I happen to enjoy PostNuke because I am most familiar with it and I like the direction it is going. I like the PEOPLE directly associated with the project. I like the USERS who try to help and look for ways to get involved in the project. More recently I have grown to like these incredibly active support forums. Having true active support for an open source project is rare in my experience. Last week I chose to become a part of the Team that promotes proper use of the pnForums - and at this age, it is *REAL* hard to get me to actually volunteer for anything. :)

    Most of all, I *REALLY* enjoy the fact that this project has generally been able to follow "open development" with access to the CVS available for all of us. It has its warts - but it still ROCKS! IMHO 8)

    Hope this helps!

    Personally I would use PostNuke instead of envolution, there site looks to be dead for the most part.

    Thats PostNuke installed now I will try it for a while. I must admit this forum looks really busy and with plenty of backup.
