I run a number of PostNuke <http://www.postnuke.com> (and despite the .com, it's free GPLed software) sites and know that literally thousands of people use it just for such a portal you described. One of PostNuke's strong points is it has a wide variety of modules that you can play with endlessly to give add'l features. Drupal and Mambo also are popular in this area, and a look at <http://www.cmsmatrix.org/> will let you compare dozens of similar CMSs. For a straight forum, I'll also vote for phpBB. It's GPL, wildly popular, well supported and has a large community. (And FWIW, PostNuke also has a phpBB, in addition to other, forum(s).) Regards, .
