In my experience with my own corporate Plone-based intranet, Plone is 
very capable, but its complexity makes it very difficult for mere 
mortals to work on. It is not well suited for volunteers to work on 
piecemeal. In the end, if you want results, it usually works out best to 
pay a Plone expert to "make it happen". (I can recommend a consultant if 
anyone wants one.)

It might be better to stick with a wiki-type thing (moinmoin or 
mediawiki or whatever...), but appoint a wiki-editor-in-chief to 
structure the site so it doesn't become a mess.

I don't mean to be negative; just sharing my Plone experience...
