Choosing Community Server, DotNetNuke, FlexWiki, Zope, or other?

::: {.Section1} [I grabbed the domain languageintegratedquery.com and languageintegratedquery.info (don’t surf – the DNS isn’t set up yet!) and would like to build a community-oriented site that: ]{style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial"}

  1. [Serves as a language-inclusive repository for LINQ examples,]{style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial"}
  2. [Provides a forum for discussing LINQ techniques and patterns, ]{style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial"}
  3. [Provides technical information on LINQ infrastructure (e.g., implementation, performance, etc.), and]{style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial"}
  4. [Provides an entry point to LINQ related news (i.e., a LINQ linkblog)]{style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial"}

[ ]{style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial"}

[The most important technical requirement I have is that the site infrastructure support multiple “timespans” for articles: ]{style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial"}

  1. [Long-lived articles (worked-out examples, technical information),]{style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial"}
  2. [Transient news (i.e., blog-style FIFO, “recent news” / calendar-oriented “archives”), and]{style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial"}
  3. [Discussion forums ]{style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial"}

[ ]{style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial"}

[Nowhere near as important, but the lack of which really bugs me about blog software: I’d like to be able to schedule articles for posting (i.e., “Sunday at 3AM, post the week’s new articles). ]{style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial"}

[ ]{style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial"}

[Anyway, I currently use dasBlog for this Website, which works great for transient, but poor for articles and discussion. I’ve got FlexWiki already installed on this server for other purposes, and it works for articles, but not for transient news and I don’t think Wiki-based discussions are very effective. Any suggestions would be welcome.]{style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial"}
