Framework to create a community in ASP.NET

I received an assignment to develop a community to a club with about 1,000 members. Members shall be able to keep in touch, post pictures/movies 开发者_运维百科and read about/register for events the club arranged.

I am looking to develop this in ASP.NET as it is what I know best (is it a wise choice?). I wonder if you could recommend any FREE framework or guide I can start from when I create the community.

There is an ASP.NET project based on BlogEngine.NET, YAF, ScrewTurn wiki - which may be useful although I do not think there's any OOTB support for events: http://sueetie.com

Would that be something you could use?

You could either use:

1. DotNetNuke, Umbraco, MojoPortal or the likes - most of the code is already written, but creating new modules/features is not that easy/simple.
2. n2cms, Project Orchard - were made just to be especially to extend, although they have less built-ins.

you can use open source DotnetNuke Content Management System
