[Conet] Open Source Community Portals / CMSs

[Joe Fortey]

Following the post from Ken Young, does anyone else on the conet list
have experience of community portals, CMSs, and similar server-side
systems suitable for community use?

I am looking at making use of an open source CMS called PHP-Nuke or one
of its younger syblings (PostNuke and Xoops) and wondered if anyone has
used any of these, or others and would like to comment on advantages /
disadvantages, comparisons, etc.

Thanks,

Joe Fortey
