<DIV><FONT size=2>Hi All,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>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). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>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. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Any opinions on this will be highly regarded. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Thanks in Advance,</FONT></DIV>
