Introduction

Cuyahoga is an open source .NET web site framework. It provides content management capabilities and has a modular approach. Currently it works with MS .NET 2.0 with SQL Server, PostgreSQL or MySQL as database backend. Also, from version 1.5.2, Mono is fully supported again.

The main goal of the project is to show .NET developers that there is a different way of building web applications than the well known sample applications. Although the project is targeted primarily at .NET developers, anybody interested can download the source and start playing.

  • Migration to a new host

    This site is going to move to a new web host today. We suffered from some performance issues lately that were out of our control unfortunately.
    John Paul Mains of Softwyre graciously offered the new hosting space. Thanks a lot for that!

    During the migration, the forum won't be available to make sure nothing gets lost.

  • Cuyahoga development will move to .NET 2.0

    After weighing all pro's and cons, we think it's time to move development to .NET 2.0 framework. The driving forces behind this move are:
    • (obvious) A more powerful development environment
    • The web application project model is released
    • Standards compliance. In .NET 1.1 it's nearly impossible to build valid XHTML sites and with 2.0, this is much easier
    • Innovation. One of the benefits of working on an OS project is the learning experience. Staying on .NET 1.1 makes the project a lot less interesting for many people in this area.
    Against a whole lot of pro's there is one very big con: Mono support. The .NET 1.1 support is pretty complete in Mono, but the 2.0 support is not. This means that it might be possible that the next generation of Cuyahoga (2.0) will not work on Mono when it's released. We'll keep a separate branch of the 1.x version that will continue to work on Mono, but all new development will be in the 2.0 version.
    It was a very hard decision to make. Mono support is one of the key features of Cuyahoga (in fact, it was the main reason why Cuyahoga was started) and we still like to keep supporting Mono, but at this moment, we want to move forward.

  • The official Cuyahoga logo

    The logo contest has ended and we have a winner:

    by Fernando Rossi.

    I'd like to thank everybody who participated in the contest!

    Oh and I've tried to create a quick and dirty 'powered by' logo. If you're interested, you can find it here (amongst the other ones).

  • Hosting suggestions

    As you may have noticed, the site is not performing too well lately. I contacted the support staff and tried to improve things. They were very helpful and things improved for a couple of times, but every time, after a few days things got worse again.
    Therefore, I decided that it's time to move to a different host. Does anybody has any recommendations for reliable hosting? Since decent hosting comes at a price, anyone willing to sponsor is welcome :).
