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.

  • Experiment with ASP.NET MVC

    Currently, we're rebuilding the admin site with Castle MonoRail, but we've also done a little experiment with the CTP version of ASP.NET MVC. Anybody interested can download it here, or get the stuff from SVN: https://cuyahoga.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/cuyahoga/experiments/Cuyahoga-MVC.

    I have some mixed feelings about it. At this moment, MonoRail is cleary the better (more mature) platform but ASP.NET MVC looks promising and it has the Microsoft label that will attract more people (like it or not).

    Opinions?

  • Status update

    Just a little update to let you all know what's going on currently with Cuyahoga development.

    Cuyahoga 2.0 development
    Max has just commited the foundation for content abstraction, categorization and versioning to the trunk. More details about this will follow shortly. For people working off the trunk: be warned that this is now a huge work-in-progress area so no guarantees about any stability whatsoever.

    New Wiki and bugtracker
    In the next weeks we are going to use Trac as integrated solution for the wiki and bugtracking. Although Jira has served us well during the years, the advantage of having everything integrated made us decide to switch. We will shutdown the wiki at sourceforge.

    Database support
    It has always been a wish to support more databases. Because we're using NHibernate we can theoretically support every database that NHibernate supports. The only reason we didn't do this is the huge amount of work that is involved with creating and maintaining all database scripts for the different platforms.
    Fortunately, the guys at Datanamic were so kind to donate a license of their product Dezign for Databases (Expert edition). This is going to make database maintenance a lot easier.
    The goal is to add support for Firebird (1.5 and 2.0) and Oracle (9i, 10g) for the upcoming releases.

    AJAX support for modules (including ASP.NET AJAX)
    Lately, there has been a lot of activity in this area by several community members. We'll try and combine the idea's in a single add-on package (Cuyahoga.Web.Extensions) that will enable Ajax development for the current 1.5.0 release.
