[opencms-dev] OpenCMS Use Cases

[Mario Jäger]

Dear Nitin Gupta,

Yes, you think in the right direction with your needs for a CMS.

The best is if you "play" a little bit with OpenCms. You can download 
it here for free: http://www.opencms.org/en/download/opencms.html

Here you find some documentations to OpenCms:
http://www.opencms.org/en/download/documentation.html

There are also additional modules for free. You can download them here:

If you have questions to the handling of OpenCms, you are welcome to ask 
them in this forum.

-- 
Kind Regards,
Mario.
