 Hello yokoy & Mikael,

  Haha, the CMS flame-war. A totally understand that PHP is slow, a bunch of 
PHP scripts can be insecure,
everyone browse Interweb with lynx, etc... But I'm not a PHP coder, i'm more on 
the Communication Side. The
tool is not very important, we have to choose it after choose the functionality 
we want. I know very well
Mambo/Joomla, i did quickly what i wanted to show to the T2 guys.

  Beside Mambo/Joomla, I've already tested SPIP/TYPO3/Alfresco/e-publish/eZ 
publish/phpWebSite/Plone/Tiki
CMS/Groupware and I still think Joomla is a good choice for the your needs. But 
anyway, WHO cares about the
CMS we will choose ? the target is to get a nice looking website, be able to 
post easily news, get a
structure to write or improve the documentation, get a place to accumulate some 
feedback and increase the
global database knowledge about T2 (part of the solved topic forums + FAQ)
