CMS Suggestions

Any decent Slashot/Kuro5hin-style CMSes you know of? I'm looking for a BBS/news/threaded discussion software package that's a) still actively maintained and b) not a nightmare to install and administrate. Thanks!

By "-style" are we supposed to assume you don't want to use the two specific applications(Scoop and Slashcode respectively) behind each of those sites? (Or are you just not aware of them?)

Gah. Order of the apps is backwards. Sorry.

Yes. Because Slashcode is a bitch to install and maintain and Scoop is not actively developed anymore as far as I can tell.

I was playing with phpnuke recently and its pretty simple to install and administrate. It looks like its still being maintained.

Please steer clear of *nukes.
