Re: What about WordPress or something similar?

I thought I would add my 0.02 EUR to the debate.

I have some experience with different CMSes, including Mambo/Jomla and 
Plone, and I also hacked up art.ubuntu.com, based on a.g.o. We are 
currently moving our main Ubuntu website from Plone (which has caused us 
issues) to a Moin-based solution. Yes, it's a wiki, but it can do much 
more. The advantage is that it's extremely flexible, both for admins and 
users. It's also under active development and has plugins for gallery, 
comments, voting, etc.

Here is the soon-to be-launched Ubuntu site: http://69.60.114.106/

And here are some other Moin based sites I've worked on:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/
http://wiki.theopencd.org/
http://wiki.ommaterra.de/Startseite

And here is a basic gallery in Moin: 
http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/gallery/2005

We could set it up so that users could upload their own images, but only 
be linked in to the main pages after approval. Automatic resizing 
already exists. Users can also set up their own homepages, write artwork 
tutorials, etc. It stores everything in plain files, so there is no 
database pain.
