[opencms-dev] Suitability of OpenCMS

[Seji Thomas]

Hi All,

I am having a web-site which is managed through Vignette Content Management System 5.x. It has a content upload module through which users of the system upload data to the system. The data may be text, textfiles, pdfs, docs, spreadsheets etc. Apart from this there is a content display module through which users can view content and search for those uploaded items. The users can also subscribe for various kind of mail alerts when a content of their choice gets uploaded. The current system employs periodic full text indexing on the database so as to speed up the search. The web-site also needs search functionality - both static and dynamic content(dynamic desirable). 

Vignette manages the site by way of running Tcl Scripts. How suitable is OpenCMS for developing and managing a site of this stature? I have mentioned only some of the major functions of the system. Since the softwares currently used are costly and some of the aspects like full text indexing has to be implemented more efficiently the site requires a major revamp without loss of data. 

Any opinions on this will be highly regarded. 

Thanks in Advance,
Seji Thomas
