Alfresco for Techcrunch like site ?

[rahuljuneja]

I am not sure if Alfresco is the right solution for such a site.
If i want to create something like http://www.techcrunch.com which has multiple stories being published every day and the home page shows synopsis of the stories being published or maybe around first 10 lines of the story and when the user clicks on the more, a new link is opened which lists the complete story. Also, I want to design the whole website in java/jsp and only want Alfresco for storing stories and generating new url for every story.

How is this possible if at all this is the right choice. I have just installed community edition 3.3 for the first time and i have not used Alfresco before. Is there any document which can give me idea about such a solution.

Any help or pointers on this is highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Rahul

Yes Alfresco is suitable. 

You can use either the WCM functionality or the DM functionaility.

Either way your "stories" live within alfresco.    And you can create/approve/publish/search/thumbnail using alfresco.
The "synopsis" is probably a custom property.

Can  you point me to some documentation or reference which can help me getting started on this as i have not worked with Alfresco before ?
