[Opensim-dev] User services refactoring status

Thu Jan 7 20:39:22 UTC 2010

If someone is looking for some kind of purity (using exclusively .NET for
web management) recently I have discovered http://www.dotnetnuke.com/

Is a CMS (like Alfresco, Drupal, Joomla...) but runs over .NET. It shouldn't
be too difficult to connect the native Opensim components to get/set data
instead of accessing directly to database.
