At the moment I can not post any code, but I can give you a short update on the status of the project. The prototype was very successful and the customer has decided to build their new platform for web and intranet onto of it.

The trickiest part getting MVC working was probably getting EPiServer running side by side with MVC 2. EPiServer internally uses MVC 1.0 for some stuff, for example the new dashboard and the reporting services. To solve this we had to create a custom build of MVC 2 (thank god for open source!) in which we give MVC 2 a custom namespace.

In addition to ASP.NET MVC we are using PageTypeBuilder for statically typed pages, Autofac as IoC container to di DI, NUnit for unit testing, Cucumber for integration testing, fully automated deployment using WebDeploy and Powershell and TeamCity for CI. Overall an exciting project

We have been discussing releasing our MVC add-on to EPiServer as open source when we feel it is mature enough, but nothing is decided yet.

Awesome! It would be great if you could post your prototype. Cheers.

@Pablo, oops that was a typo. It should of course be EPiServer CMS 5
