One of my customers want to have a simple CMS/blogging platform.
I have experience with Sharepoint variations and that method is very good for him anyway he could not afford the cost of a Sharepoint for Internet license.
Which of the platform currently available have easy to use features for adding multilanguage content and handle its translations workflows?
If you want a good cms php & mysql with blog you can use doorGets CMS, it's very easy to install and use, http://sourceforge.net/projects/doorgets-cms/files/latest/download?source=files
Since you mentioned Sharepoint, I am assuming you are looking for a .NET solution.
If that is the case, take a look at Umbraco, an open source CMS.
Drupal has this built-in since version 6. The i18n module adds some advanced features as well.
Wordpress ( http://codex.wordpress.org/Translating_WordPress ) also has good support for i18n, and its admin interface is less complicated than Drupal's. You would need to use a 3rd party application (say, poedit http://dorkage.net/blog/2009/02/15/internationalization-work-flow-with-poedit/ ) to work with the translations, though.

Of course, there is the UX Design Guidelines for Windows Phone, but it, obviously, miss tips for the window header design and behavior.
I suppose MS is not interested in Metro apps on classic desktop, but may be some one else (hello, Metrotwit team ;) ) wrote something interesting?
You could use the documentation of the Windows 8 Metro apps that is slowly appearing.
When looking at Zune etc. they decided to get rid of the standard chrome/borders and implemented their own.
The problem is that the desktop still requires a minimize/maximize, title while these do not exist on Metro.
My advise copy the ideas from Zune and others. I do not expect any official guidance on this soon.
Metro is also for Windows 8. Take a look at
8 traits of great Metro style apps

My friend thinks that Drupal is a much better framework than Zend, I however, think it's an unfair comparison. What are your thoughts?
They are two different products altogether. Drupal is not a framework, it is a Content Management System. This allows for distributed publishing, workflow and much more. It can be extended through plugins to provide additional functionality.
Zend Framework is a web application framework. It gives a common set of tools, services and code that can be used to build a site. It does not give you a site unless you put these items to some use first.
Think of it this way:
If you wanted to build a Content Management System like Drupal from scratch, you would use a Web Application Framework like Zend Framework to shortcut a lot of the standard elements you would need such as session management, email, database abstraction layer etc.

I am evaluating web frameworks. The criteria is lightweight, secure, easy to learn and deploy. There're plenty, but I come up with the following short list,
web2py - the python version of "ruby on rails"
wt. - desktop version of web application
CGI/Perl - the old buddy
Have you worked with any of the above web frameworks and what's your experience? If not, which one do you recommend instead?
Thanks,
This is a flame war in the making.
why did you rule out django and RoR, they have a lot more developer support.
Evaluation of a framework is subjective. A framework is only as good as how good you are with a language, and best practices of a language. What works for one programmer or team, may not work for another, if the team is full of people new to the language.
Please rephrase your question, or rather think about if you really need a framework in the first place.
I find RoR feels very light and is easy to learn. I've also developed in several Java-based frameworks - though all feel heavier than RoR but certainly are rich in features.
Don't know how to comment on answers. To answer Klochner, both seems quite popular but Ruby is not a language that I am familiar with and Django seems more heavy and complex to me than web2py.

I want to learn some basics about MSHTML, like how to use IHtmlDocument and IHtmlDocument2 interfaces. I searched for quite a while, but can not find out a tutorial for beginners. Could anyone recommend something to read?
EDIT: I prefer to use C#.
When I was learning to use MSHTML I mostly relied on the MSDN documentation and asked specific details in newsgroups and sites like this.
It also helped me alot to download the whole Windows SDK instead of reading online.
If you are using C#, then you should not be using MSHTML. Use the WebBrowser component if you're using Windows Forms, use any of the XML APIs if you're trying to generate HTML (as XHTML). You might possibly want to use an HtmlWriter, but stay away from unmanaged code, if you can help it.
Links:
WebBrowser Control (Windows Forms)
HtmlTextWriter Class (System.Web.UI)
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Search/en-US/?query=mshtml%20tutorial&ac=1
BTW, MSHTML is not a new thing - it's an old thing.
BTW2, is this the George2?
There are some tutorials under the "hosting and reuse" section of IE SDK documentation. But I guess you need to read the DHTML tutorials under the HTML/CSS section as well.

I need a free very simple CMS which i can host on my own server just like Cushy CMS www.cushycms.com. is there any ?
I recently wrote an alternative to CushyCMS because I wanted the open source community to have a free alternative.
Mechedit is an open source CushyCMS like applciation. Runs on PHP5 only though.
Orbis CMS is another open source alternative to CushyCMS. It's built on the same pricinples (simplicity, ease-of-use) and features a stylish interface, but is self-hosted and free.
SnappySnippets is a free and simple alternative; it is highly customizable and has a desktop interface that your clients will find easy to use. It is hosted so that you don't have to install anything
There are many questions like this on Stackover flow
for example:

Just search for CMS
Good question which I was asking myself recently. This is a neglected corner of the CMS landscape. However, I did find:
this rather detailed and intelligent summary list:
http://www.matthijskamstra.nl/blog/index.php/2011/02/16/lightweight-cms-for-simple-projects/
a briefer but recently updated list of 40 lightweight CMSs http://www.abcphp.com/out/top-40-free-simple-lightweight-cms-|-vivalogo-resources/
Two other lists, both from 2012 and neither suggesting much examination of the products:
http://webdesignledger.com/tools/10-simple-and-light-weight-cms-solutions
http://speckyboy.com/2010/07/19/14-light-and-east-to-use-open-source-content-management-systems/
In case you're wondering, the project I was looking at using one of these for got a little more complicated and I ended up going to a more heavyweight system, with a simplified interface on top of it.
There's a lesson there. Many systems that will cope with complex needs (Drupal, MODX etc) can still be installed pretty quickly, and your users' needs are only going to grow more complex over time.
That said, I'd still like to think lightweight systems have their place. Let us know what you chose.
