This looks like a great web app.

Umbraco is a great CMS with active parts like; Content, DocTypes, Templates, Macros/XSLT. Give it some minutes, it's worth the time!

I'm sure this is a powerful app but a) it is very difficult to understand the configuration, b) there is very little or no documentation on important configuration steps (I had to find out about website packages and how to import them by reading several different disparate message board comments), c) it screws up the IIS settings (it hijacked my default web site, changed some of its settings, and changed the app pool of all of my existing apps)!

Umbraco is a full, enterprise grade CMS with full source and very content-centric features. For most applications, you can use it out of the box. For the rest, you have the source. Building the administration side alone would take next to forever to replicate. When asp.net providers hit the release, integration with your proprietary web apps will be seamless.

I've been toying with it for a couple of years but recently have whipped out four websites using it. Unfortunately, one of the sites I created was dicarded by the team that I left behind. Xslt can be a little intimidating. My advice is to install it in a virtual machine and go to town. You might fall in love.

Regarding keith5000 comments: a) configuration is mysterious but its an open source app. Dig in. Inspect the source code. b) documentation is certainly not complete but there is more documentation and community support on this project than almost any other project I've dealt with. c) yes, there is an automated install that assumes quite a lot. Manual install is quite easy. If you know enough to care about such settings, you certainly know enough to follow the instructions.
