 I can admin the site. I have used greenchilly.in and find the registration
system decent to start with.

 What features so we need in the CMS ? I have a simple CMS written on top of
cherrypy which we use for internal use, basically something tht lets you
create pages witht a wysiswyg editor and mount the pages on required url. If
you guys want additional features I can spare a developer from my team for 2
weeks or so to work on adding feature...

What I have noticed after organizing couple of events, is that look and feel
of the site matters and wikis just dont provide you the richness that you
need to attract audience (no falmes please). Instead of a wiki I will prefer
static HTMl pages with a decent look and feel.
