I and looking at DotNetNuke as a possible CMS for my organization to handle content management for about 50 websites plus an Inranet.

I am a developer so I'm particularly interested in how web sites are integrated into it.

I gather that most CM systems require sites to be embedded into them somehow (if not developed inside them). Is it possible to easily add and remove sites to/from a DNN installation?

Can only sites developed in .Net be added. What about pre .Net ASP sites?

I realise these are fairly basic questions but I could't find answers on the site.

Regards rb

I am not really answering any of your questions but I did post a similar question in the forums. I am also evaluating dotnetnuke for managing multiple sites and also being able to migrate existing sites from our old CMS to this.

Perhaps we can share discoveries?

We'll start with the easy questions --

You can't "add suites" to DNN, you create the site in DNN and migrate the content.  DNN uses portals as individual sites, so one DNN installation can handle multiple portals, or sites.

DNN is not a tru CMS, it's a portal framweork.  There are some CMS functions built in and you can add modules that have complete CMS capabilities including workflow management.

To really find out how DNN works, download the Install version, install it on a system and try it.

It sounds like to me you have a number of existing sites that already have your CMS info in it and you are looking for one location to aggregate out that information.   You could always embed your info into a DNN page using an iFrame but the power of DNN is that you can start to bring together all of that information into the Dotnetnuke framework.

Jeff is right when he says download it and give it a whirl.  You will discover quickly what you can and can't do.   The great news is that what DNN can't do out of the box, there is a good chance that a module exists that can do it.  

We can describe DNN until we are blue in the face but until you use it you will never understand how powerful and expansive it is.
