    <p>In many projects we are developing we need to have CMS functionalities in the back end of the site. On the other end we don't want to or can't commit to a complete front end solution. To explain this better:</p> <ul> <li><p>CMSes like <a href="http://www.joomla.org/" rel="noreferrer">Joomla</a> or <a href="http://www.dotnetnuke.com/" rel="noreferrer">DotNetNuke</a> are complete web site solutions, they let you store and publish data. They are not friendly at all if you just need to store data and retrieve it in a custom way. They are not what we are looking for -- and I think they should not be called CMS at all, because they are much more!</p></li> <li><p>CMSes like <a href="http://www.umbraco.org/" rel="noreferrer">Umbraco</a> look nice, but again, they are not very versatile at all if you want to use the data in a custom way. Umbraco gives you APIs to access the data at run-time, whereas I am also interested in having static publishing features for scalability concerns.</p></li> </ul> <p>To give a couple more indications:</p> <ul> <li>If it has a plug-in system, it's probably not what I am looking for...</li> <li>If it cannot publish statically and dynamically (think XML files or HTML files AND APIs), it's probably not what I am looking for...</li> <li>Cross DB would be great, but it's not strictly necessary</li> </ul> <p>The CMS does not need to be free, but we must be able to have the full source code. As for platform, we need solutions mainly for .NET and LAMP.</p> <p>I already know the <a href="http://www.cmsmatrix.org/" rel="noreferrer">CMS Matrix</a> site, but its definition of CMS includes too many web site solutions so I don't get enough signal-to-noise to find what I need.</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> To be clear: I don't want to write a CMS using some kind of framework. I want a solution that can store heterogeneous data with typical CMS features (wysiwyg editor, versioning, workflow, etc...) and provides features to publish this data.</p>
