This is i.e. a C.M.S which fullfills the requirements you talk here about:

http://plone.org/

btw: Security is significant part of that application

Just take a look at and/or log into that website - it widely speaks for 
himself...


Wordpress is far away to be a CMS and not nearly to just be a WCMS.

btw: My be i'm not shure about the roadmaps of the OpenNIC project, but if 
OpenNIC really targets to get a significant respected and used alternative in 
the internet world we have to do things better then the establishement and 
even to appear as technical skilled people which do know what they are doing 
- 
using a kiddie PHP script for our main website which uses every kiddie for 
his 
doggie website on a low eco hostspace would generate a vice versa impress to 
all of techies i know which think about to rely their ISPs DNS over to 
OpenNICs root. Another point is a strong and developed online community the 
project needs to grow up - which is only possible with a scalable and 
comfortable to manage portal system. How i.e. Drupal is coming to his edges 
could you see in practice here and in many partly grown Drupal based 
communities.

The current status of the website is not really the top as we know and there 
are several hacked together standalone apps with different logins / 
authentication realms etc - if you use i.e. wordpress this scenario would 
come 
again as wp is limited in functionality as scalability.

On the other hand, if OpenNIC just want to stay / leave as a small "some kind 
of techi" group this would be acceptable.

Yes, it may easier to setup something small and still used/known as this 
saves 
a little bit time during set up - but it will cost much more time to handle 
such a misdecision in the future - except there is no success for the 
project...


best regards,


Niels.
