Hi,
i m planning to create an intranet (very specific with a lot of features) and i was wondering what is a best and most flexible solution between :
1 ) starting with an eZ publish instance
2) or creating from scratch with ez components
at a first glance i'll choose the option 1 but i ll be very curious if anyone try something similar with option 2.

Tough to give a meaningful answer with no given requirements (desired feature set, size of the team and experience of the coders, maintenance requirements, etc...)

Yes i know.
it was just a general question, if ti's (possible) worth it to start from scratch (like a zend framework app)

Hi Jo,
Generally, if the intranet requirements contain such notions as edition collaboration, updating content, access control, translation, versioning, Webdav access, high load and clustering, then you may want to not re-invent the wheel, and start off with an existing solution, eZ Publish being one of the enterprise-grade options. Anecdotally, France Telecom Research & Development has been using eZ Publish for several years for sharing knowledge internally (5 000 employees).

You can even use ez publish default features and create additional ones with ez components. This is like the option 3, use both.

I would definitely suggest to start with eZ Publish and the extend it to meet the needs for special functionality.
In this way you can use all the power from both technologies.
I used this approach on an Intranet site (although it didn't need many complex customizations) and also for many public portal that needed special functionality.
And it works really well.
