Joomla or DOTNETNUKE

I was recently asked to do a Multimedia page and the options are Joomla or other similar CMS. I am wondering what the limitations pros- cons are in this application framework, over DOTNETNUKE and whats more convenient to use being a ASP NET Programmer not really a mysql php user. I can learn the basics I guess, but would it really worth for a project has anyone has expereicne with both??

I think you might want to look for local user groups and see who is nearby with experience in the two systems. Personally, I would choose Joomla or Drupal, but that is because I have easy access to experts in those systems. If I have a hiccup, I know where to go for help.

well the thing is, which one will alow me to program add pages (modules) and customization for a video streaming site, such as youtube.com

Ray Paseur

Any CMS will let you do that - even Wordpress. I would think that the programming and data base work will be more of an issue than the integration with the CMS, which should be very easy.

I think you want to do I will go for Joomla ... Very easy to customize ... its has plygins, modules, components etc ...
