AlternativesTelerik Sitefinity CMS is a free product that has similar features to the .communities project.
The
Community Advanced Starter Kit project is available for users requiring a complete implementation of a community content management framework.
The Project.communities is more than just a refactored version of the
Community Starter Kit, with .communities the intention is to create a full featured, industry standard web application which can be used without modification to create a multi-user collaborative website. Included with .communities are a set of core modules which will allow users to perform generic tasks such as creating articles, blog entries, discussions etc. .communities also makes it much easier to create new modules and is useful for developers who require a customised user experience for creating/displaying content. The core framework has also been redesigned with a new level of customisation, allowing for developers to extend the framework however they see fit.
