Welcome to Rainbow Community!
The Rainbow project is an open source initiative to build a comprehensive content management system using Microsoft's ASP.NET and C# technologies. It has ASP.NET 1.1 and ASP.NET 2.0 code bases.
Rainbow, available today in 29 languages, allows content authoring to be safely delegated to role-based team members who need little or no knowledge of HTML. Rainbow optionally supports a two-step approval-publish process. 75 plug-in modules are now included in the standard release, including support for an e-store, XML news feeds, Flash, Maps, Newsletter, Surveys, Forums, Document Management, Custom Lists, and more.
Rainbow has received more than 150,000 downloads to date and is already in production at many commercial internet and intranet sites.
Below are our developer and rainbow user Blog rolls. If you would like your own, please make a post on the forums or email ramseur at gmail dot com for assistance. Below are only the current post and our community urges you to check out all the blogs via the blog link on the menu.
