Beyond the Scene

Plans for a new Portal Site sizzled for quite some time. We needed an attractive easy to maintain website witch provides an immense amount of information related to the global Sailing community. This Website should serve the community but also attract Cruising Sailors around the globe to contribute interesting information that could provide a helpful source to other cruisers.

There where a lot of unanswered questions regarding how the site should be created and maintained. Some of the Major criteria’s where:
To be able to build a legal system there must be little to no license costs.

It must be possible to have numerous people working on the site with out deep knowledge in Web-Programming.

It should be possible to work on the site without a sophisticated infrastructure even from a Internet Cafe.

After long evaluations Martin decided Mamba should be the platform for our SailingSite.org Portal. This clearly structured freeware tool was just what we have been looking for. A major plus for the Mamba solution is that there are no License costs.

For one, this fact make’s it possible to start such a ambitious project with our very limited resources.
