Andy,

It is a highly extensible platform, based on .NET and windows.  It is also
open source!  We did install it and have a play around with it.  But not as
much as we would have liked, primarily because of skillset and resource
issues here.

Microsoft have come late into the repository space, and have had a really
good look at the kinds of mistakes others have made.

Let us know how you get on.

David.
