Here's my situation. I live in an 'Active Adult Living' community. We have about 600 condo units. I've wanted to put together a portal community web site for a long time. I am torn between 2 or 3 of the portal packages available, one of which is PHPNuke.
I have always liked PHPNuke, one of the reasons being that it probably has the best forum setup, which I think would be the lifeblood of a site like this, allowing community residents to post questions and receive varied responses.
The thing that has kept me from moving forward with this is the constant change around PHPNuke, and the many supporting websites, which can and often do, offered many varied packaged bundled versions.
The question is, what version do I start with. Should I go with the latest version of PHPNuke, available at their site? Or do I go with a bundled version, such as the one offered here or at some other sites.
It is very confusing, to say the least. Your opinions and experiences would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. - The other thing that has always bugged me about PHPNuke is not being able to put up just a minimal home page, requiring registered users to login in to get to the News and other real goodies. I don't want most community news available to the general public.

It depends on how much you want to do yourself. If you are comfortable with editing the site code and doing maintenance yourself, I recommend getting
That will give you a secure site, and you will be manually in-control of everything you install.
A more integrated solution is RavenNuke from http://ravenphpscripts.com
Built in with many addons and security. Also an active development team behind it, unlike what FB provides with phpNuke itself
I cannot give you any other opinions, I don't use any other ones myself.
- For phpNuke, you would have to create some kind of empty module to set as the Home module. And then you can make the rest of them set for Registered Users Only
