Re: Beyond the wiki page: planning an International Community Portal

 

We use Drupal at CERN and it is extremely flexible for setting up branded
themes, communities, RSS feeds, OpenID, dynamic content etc..

However, it is also quite complex and so would require some specialised
skills to set up and maintain.  This is fine if you have them available but
it is a steep learning curve for this specific purpose.
