Anyone using YACS Commercially ?

I notice with other CMS's like Joomla, Drupal etc that the platform is used for commercial sites and also by web development companies as platforms for making sites for clients.

From what I've seen of the YACS community so far, is that all the sites have been personal/hobby/non-profit sites.

So I was wondering if there have been any commercial sites made with YACS ?

I will converting my wife's business site (a small hairdressers www.room42hairsalon.co.uk ) to YACS and also the rock band my brother is in www.angelofsin.co.uk but nothing of big commercial value.

Would be really nice to see some big sites done with YACS, maybe this time next year I could set my own part-time business up building sites based on YACS (and I will be a billionaire and Bernard will of taken over the world :D !)

Nick, YACS is already powering a couple of commercial sites, including www.apmfrance.com www.afrique-recrutement.com and www.zaniroli.com to list a few. Would you think that YACS is mature enough to promote it to IT professionals? This is a strategic objective for the beginning of next year.

Nice sites, apm and zaniroli both look great.

Yes, I think the main thing is to make sure to emphasise that the "community" is also equal to a business and change the colour scheme/logo to be more business oriented :P

NickR: You are so right, man. The next step for the adoption of YACS is to enrole IT professionals, and this means probably a number of changes on this site, on the way the software is designed, developed, etc. This will happen, believe me.

Yacs has potential. I am currently working at migrating the site of an international NGO to YACS. I still have to solve a couple of tecchies issues : cannot get the files systems to configure properly and figure the language change on the fly (Canada is very bilingual...) We are currently getting ripped off by a commercial hosting service who insists upon having only FrontPage and ASP to run on his MS-Information Servers. We are moving to Linux on a self-hosted SME7 (e-smith) server. Hope to be able to bring Sopar.ca and Sopar.org on line in January after that BalaVikasa.org and another one should be due.

Innovatique: I like this project, indeed. For the language switch, at the moment YACS attempts to adapt to information shared by the browser. Would you think useful to depart from this automatism?

Some more examples: typex.aero, aas.vipnetwork.aero and a bunch of internal sites at SITA (see sita.aero, not a YACS site
