My situation: I'm an ASP.NET dev that has just built a great little web app and now I want to add a CMS to it.
By that, I mean that I want to create a site (not a portal) that incorporates blogs, news feeds and a forum, and has a members only area (via monthly Paypal subscription) where the users use my custom web app.
I've already converted my app into ascxs and brought a couple into a test page on umbraco. Now how do I do the rest? I figure installing runway and nForum would take care of some of the basics, but how do I do membership and user roles? What about Paypal? Which modules (if any) should I use?
I don't think that there is a umbraco specific paypal module package for Umbraco but I guess it should be fairly simple to integrate any website with paypal.
What are your concerns about membership? The membership provider in Umbraco is the default from ASP.NET, so it's not a custom thing so you should be able to do whatever you like with it. You should also be able to use another membership provider if you wish so.
Does runway fit my needs?

Hi kalor

Hope these input helps.
