*Hi there,* *I am an application programmer (Java, PHP) and almost new to
web development. I am currently investigating as to what is the most
appropriate/applicable open source platform/framework to develop a web site
(simple to start but more comprehensive into the future) for tourism or
tourist attractions. The following lists the basic support requirements
(mainly multimedia, interactivity and future proof) * *1. XHTML,
JavaScript, Ajax* *2. Multimedia – images, slides show, music, videos*
*3. Simple blogging facility * *4. Community, Feedbacks * *5.
Emailing for registered users (regular news release)* *6. Database
(mySQL or similar)* *7. Search ability (text based)* *8. Shopping
facility (online, gift etc)* *9. Management facility* *I have seen some
CMS type of open system, such as Xoops, Lenya, Daisy, etc. But I do not have
enough knowledge to make any choice decision. Just wondered if any
experienced people here could help me or shed some lights please. * *I am a
techi person and wouldn't mind the complicity of technology so long as the
job can be done efficiently and effectively and low cost.* *Many thanks in
advance,* *Mark*
