Hi,

I am very new to the .net enviroment. I have an advance knowledge in VB6 & MS SQL. I want to start something with .net. As my start project, I would like to write a photography portal since my hobby is photography. What I want to achieve is the following:

User Registration
Rights and user access levels to different areas
Users, can write their comment on each photo
Users can request to send them particular photos.

Administration
Administer users
Administer photos -- preferably remotely.

1) Is their an open source portal that does this work and I can take a look at and build my own.

2) I am very confused about the design and approach I should take.

Can anyone help me please to start ?

Cheers
Manuel
