Yet another CMS question.
I'm setting up a site that I'd like to duplicate a subset of the features of a site like Bloglines. I'd like it to take in RSS feeds, convert the items in the feeds to local "nodes", and allow users to manage those items. Most importantly, the uesrs should be able to comment on the items from the feed. Also, I'd like to be able for users to "promote" the item to a blog or forum entry, have filtered views, and be able to trigger actions (like, email a feed item with commentary) from the feed.
Other features the CMS needs in general should include good access control and forums, but I'm most interested for this question in finding the best open source RSS aggregator.
I'm most familiar with Drupal and have some of the functionality I need in the Aggregator2 module. That module is still in development, though, and doesn't do everythign I need, especially regarding filtered views (which isn't within that module's scope, I understand). I'm not expecting to find everything I need and expect to do some customization.
Are there other CMSes I should be investigating?
It's important that the feeds become local objects in the CMS, so it needs to be an aggregator, not just a reader.
I've looked at the
Blog Software Breakdown,
CMS Matrix,
Open Source CMS, and
previous questions.
