I'm building a community site for a non-profit organisation. We'd like to publish stuff on a website via some sort of workflow (someone writes an article and someone else approves) and writers don't have to worry about HTML, so we'll need a content management system. Ideally the content management system should have event calendar and image gallery capabilities.

We'd also like to have a discussion forum that contributors as well as members of the non-profit can discuss the articles and other stuff.

We're also planning to give each member his own e-mail address and webmail access, and we'll run a couple of mailing lists to disseminate mass mailings to them.

Since we already have a (rather large) member database in LDAP, we'd really like to have all of the above authenticating against LDAP so we don't have to run two sets of user databases.

Before I start getting Metadot + Courier + Mailman and try to jam them all together with OpenLDAP, is there some sort of an all-in-one package out there that will fulfill these requirements?

Thanks for any info!

Meh. I'm getting typo3 + exim4 + (some sort of webmail thingy) + Mailman and hacking on them until they live happily with OpenLDAP.

The college I work at uses Horde as it's web mail system. It allows for LDAP authentication. Horde includes a whole bunch of subprojects ( http://www.horde.org/projects.php ), but I'm not sure if this is exactly what you need.

You may want to look at phpnuke - http://www.phpnuke.org , cms, with forum with webmail need php and mysql

There are lots of CMS systems that support basically what you want. Take a look at http://www.opensourcecms.com/ to testdrive several
without having to install and configure them yourself. As a starting point, I can recommend Drupal, e107, phpWebSite as fairly powerful, and stable, systems (well, e107 moves pretty fast, but you don't have to do every upgrade). The various *Nuke* CMS are aimed at being more of a slashdot like site, primarily news and comments, rather than static pages.

From a professional standpoint, I'd recommend PostNuke over PHPNuke. PHPNuke is the Microsoft of CMSs...very insecure.

Just a note...
