The Syrinx Community Server (Syrinx CS) open source project can take your next web site to new heights of power and ability. Because the Syrinx CS is built on top of our Syrinx Web Application Framework (SWAF) you can build sites as simple as a personal blog to as powerful as a multiple-membership media site with customized functionality built on top of it and beyond.
At the simplest level, you can just deploy the starter site and database and customize its content. The starter site has real articles, images and themes that you can edit directly to make it into your own rather than starting from a blank web page.
If you’re a serious ASP.NET developer, you can dig deeply into the rich architecture and development environment of Syrinx CS to build powerful web applications that go way beyond what other “Community Building Environments” offer. Syrinx CS is built completely from standard C#. While we have been focusing on the Microsoft environment of Windows and IIS, we have done testing with Syrinx CS in Linux and Apache using the Mono .NET environment. In the future we intend to have a deployment that is verified to work completely in Linux.
