Hi all

I'm very pleased to announce that from today, the Cuyahoga web site framework runs on
Mono.

Cuyahoga is a framework that consists of a core that enables you to manage the site
structure, authorization and templates. The actual content is managed by separate modules,
more or less comparable with DotNetNuke, Rainbow Portal and the IBuySpy Portal.

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. For example, all
persistance is handled by NHibernate which reduced the amount of code drastically.

You can go and check it out at http://www.martijnboland.com/cuyahoga.

To build it on Mono you need a recent working 0.85 version of NAnt and follow the
installation instructions for building with NAnt.

The current version is tested with Mono 1.1.3 on Fedora Core 2 and PostgreSQL 7.4.1 as
database but I think it will also run on Mono 1.0.x (that is, if you manage to get NAnt
0.85 working on it, which I didn't).
