    Ok Guys, Now I have decided to start a city specific site for my city ...
    Anyone can suggest me a good CMS ... which I can use to update news, have a community forum and other general stuff.
    I know and have already worked with most of them, still looking for something that maybe I havent heard of, and something which maybe able to satisfy my needs!

    I'm guessing you're familiar with www.opensourcecms.com and have waded through their demo systems - good way to kill half a day ;)

    Is it the frontend of the CMS that isn't right, or the back end?

    How much are you prepared to code and hack to get what you want?

    You're better to have your own vision, design and plan and then find the CMS that will give it to you. After all you don't want to be just another site - you want to stand out.

    Thats right sarah, I wanted to code the entire site myselves too ..
    But then recently I have been packed with too many SEO projects
    And I need to get this site ongoing ...
    So I prefer to setup a CMS ....
    Joomla tops my list as of now ...
