Hello fellow developers, i wonder if Umbraco is suited for a community site, with multiple blogs.
I love the member and content management for the umbraco back-office,.. but are there packages which can offer the some of the same functionality for the front-end... hmm..
It's just my opinion, Blog4Umbraco has been developed over a few years by different developers, it uses external tables for comments and has been very buggy in my experience. I'm sure it can be made to work fine, but it's frustrated me every time I've tried to use it.
uBlogsy has been built from the ground up in the latest version of Umbraco, I guess it's not so mature but it's the one I'd go for moving forwards.
can umbraco be used for a community website
Hello fellow developers, i wonder if Umbraco is suited for a community site, with multiple blogs.

I've searched the projects folder, and found
blog - http://our.umbraco.org/projects/collaboration/blog-4-umbraco
member - login
http://our.umbraco.org/projects/website-utilities/ulogin
http://our.umbraco.org/projects/website-utilities/razorlogin
But no community site packages, or member subscription packages for that matter ,.. ..
I't would be interesting to hear your opinion, before i start programming like mad and making one from scratch (c:

Well this probably isn't what you're looking for, but there is a forum which also is kind of a community: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/website-utilities/nforum.

As a side point, I would use uBlogsy over Blog4Umbraco.
