It seems that my needs are in the middle somewhere but *probably* 
leaning more towards the CMS side (in this case) because I want *users* 
to be able to manage the site whereas phpgw doesn't seem to lend itself 
to that as nicely.

I know phpgw whereas I'm just starting out with plone. I know one of  
sitemgr's goals was to be able to emulate postnuke (which I orignally 
used at the cci site below) and I *hate* the *nukes now. They are 
horrible for pretty much anything...especially when you need to have 
your users have different security levels. One killer app that I would 
*love* to have is support for the photo gallery at 
http://gallery.sourceforge.net. Has anybody done that?
