What's the best CMS in asp.net mvc? Orchard 1.0 or Kooboo 3 CTP?


I want to build a blog in ASP.NET and I'm choosing among these CMS systems:

Both are based on ASP.NET MVC 3.

Which of these would your vote go to and why? I expect the best Kooboo 3 CTP < familiarity, simplicity and more pro!

  • Which will have better support in the future (updates, fixes)?
  • Which has a larger community (development, plugins, etc.)?

I'm confused and hesitant much, I very love Wordpress but, I'm a .NET developer and want to use ASP.NET for my blog.


Solution

  • Personally, I've not heard of Kooboo, but I have heard of Orchard.

    Orchard is being worked on (but not "owned") by Microsoft - that's as good of an endorsement for any product you'll get in the .NET space I think. As far of which'll get better support - I'd have to say that Orchard would because of that alone. I think it'll also get more publicity because of the MS connection too.

    However, if you're a .NET developer - then it really comes down to whichever you like the feel of better I guess. If you feel you want to start changing things and getting your hands dirty with the source - then go for the one you like.

    Other than that, the future will hold the answers, so maybe wait a few months and see how things are looking then :)
