i was going to say that without requirements it's difficult to
recommend a solution.

for example in the open source community:

* a lightweight cms that lets us update a marketing site with blog
attached to it
** wordpress does nicely.

* a community site that where different content is displayed pre and post login
** drupal's my preferred. joomla, for the most part, is the same

* community inter-communication site, perhaps tied to learning
** elgg

* digg like community platform
** pligg

it come's down to what you're trying to accomplish, choosing the
platform that accomplishes the majority of that while simultaneously
being open enough that you can either develop on top of it, or fuse it
with another solution that accomplishes still more of your goals.
