I have an MVC application in process of development and want to see if I can create or integrate it into an MVC-based CMS environment. The idea is that the application will appear to run in an environment wherein the user can actually add/edit web pages, download documents do blogs, handle Facebook integration etc.
In some respects I am almost looking for an Application Framework but that is not entirely the case. The application uses EF with an IRepository to allow switchable back-ends (including switching out EF). The key requirement is simply within the same solution to be able to provide a CMS type of management.
Architecturally I have thought of a side-by-side approach and also using a Module type approach wherein the app sits inside a CMS system.
In the immediate term does anyone have any comments, advise or experience as to how I could do this?
Take a look at the ASP.NET MVC based AtomSite. It may have the features you are looking for.
Well it looks like the answer finally came along with the Orchard Project which looks crisp and (reasonably) light-weight and provides a good MVC basis with Application Framework features for application development.

It is for implementing a public website with more than 100 content pages and severals subdomains and cultures. The design is already done (HTML,CSS), so the CMS should be flexible and easy to control the presentation details.
Because that, I thought to use ASP.NET MVC4 to control the output HTML, and I am looking for a good CMS to work with.
I've been recommended to use Sharepoint, but I think it is not a good idea for a public website. I am thinking of Umbraco CMS as it integrates great with MVC.
Any other CMS to take into account?
Thanks in advance!
Havent used other CMS out there but heavily use Umbraco and think its best .net CMS to use because you can make it as complex or as simple as you want , supports multi domains and cultures with the use of dictionaries for the different cultures and most important of all a great community and its free.
Orchard CMS is a good choice. It provides lots of features.

I'm looking at creating a web app (similar functionality to kickstarter)
However i'm not a programmer and my knowledge is very minimal & i'm looking for one to help.
I'm about to post this on freelancer, should the project be built in RoR or Django?
What is the quickest + the best quality?
Thanks for your help
Jake
Here you go, a Kickstarter Clone: https://github.com/lockitron/selfstarter.
If you're thinking about what the project should be built in, Django or RoR, both of which are great choices, then you should really consider the strengths of who will help you. If that person has more experience with RoR, then RoR. If they have more experience with Django, then Django. At such an early stage in a project, deciding between great frameworks that will get the job done is micro-optimization that could wait a while (I don't think there are many if any drawbacks between choosing one over the other performance-wise). Thus, the choice should come from team dynamics and what the team building the product is most comfortable with.
In this case, you don't have a team, but if you were to find someone or some people, and they were all proficient in RoR, then RoR would be the clear choice. If, on the other hand, you are planning on learning web development, and are asking which you should learn, my personal choice would be RoR.

Using C#, preferably Asp.net MVC I want to implement a wiki solution which consists of a unique markup language and article display. However I also want to provide standard wiki features such as RSS, Versioning, ext.
What existing wiki would you recommend me to base upon?
I'm not aware of a mature ASP MVC wiki, but in the asp.net webforms area screwturn is my favourite.
screwturn.eu is your friend. It go all the other tricky stuff solved (and there is a lot of that!)
You can easily replace the page formatter pipeline (core/FormattingPipeline.cs in screwturn) or more simply just add custom formatters
MVC is nice but shouldn't be a requirement for a wiki which is effectively just one page (default.aspx in screwturn's case)?
You should be able to use Url re-writing to make each page have a pretty URL, this is how MVC framework work any ways
e.g. site.com/pageName > site.com/pageName.ashx

Anyone point me to any article that describes how to use themes and skins in an asp.net mvc application?
I would use different CSS files as George suggests. You can achieve an awful lot this way. See CSS Zen Garden for examples of just how much you can do.
If this doesn't give you enough control then you can also specify a master page in your controller like this:
return View(stringViewName, stringMasterName, model);
For ASP.NET MVC, you don't have the ASP.NET 'Themes' mantra, you typically use CSS.
this guy uses a custom view engine to solve this problem, I like this solution better than ASP.MET MVC Dynamic Themes, however I didn't tested any of both, I'm still looking for something.

I am looking for some open source blogging engine build on ASP.NET MVC. Is there any production ready projects available?
Note from svinto: I want this as well, but rather something that plugs in to any asp.net mvc site, using any DI/IoC or ORM. - Instead of creating a new similar question, I'm using this one.
These are the blogging engines I've found and their dependencies, subdependencies etcetera:
Oxite
LINQ to SQL
Atomsite
NLog (Logging framework)
Yahoo! UI Library: YUI Compressor for .net (Minifies js and css, .net port of YUI Compressor)
Ecmascript.net modified
Tidy.net (.net port of HTML TIDY)
SGMLReader (Converts SGML into XML)
StructureMap (DI/IoC framework)
SharpZipLib
Both of these seems to be more separate applications rather than something you mix and match with other things. Does anyone know of anything that:
Has a separate assembly (or one for controllers and one for models)
Uses repository pattern
Allows use of any DI/IoC
Allows use of any ORM
Comes with view templates that I can change
http://www.funnelweblog.com - ASP.NET MVC 3.0, Razor, and used by a number of bloggers already.
I would recommend a NBlog. Really lightweight. Best to integrate to the existing site.
not sure what you determine as production ready?
Oxite is in beta, but seeing as MVC is not yet at RTM, I doubt you'll find anything that isn't determined as a pre-release.
http://www.visitmix.com/Lab/Oxite
I hope that helps.
edit: http://www.codeplex.com/oxite
this one looks good http://thebeerhouse.codeplex.com/
http://orchardproject.net/ based on ASP.NET MVC 2, Razor etc
Worth to mention BlogEngine.Net in this posts, so:
http://www.dotnetblogengine.net/
and here list of its features:
http://www.dotnetblogengine.net/page/features.aspx
and here the documentation:
http://blogengine.codeplex.com/documentation
It's not MVC, but worth to consider it.
