Hi,
I'm with the Davis Bike Church and we are looking to setup a new website for our group (we've been using the daviswiki.org). I want a site that will allow anyone with permission to add content, allow for calendars, forms, online donations, etc, and have our own domain name and a decent amount of server space (~1GB) so we can use it to share files and documents. I want to run an open source content management system such as plone, joomla, drupal, etc to do these things and wanted to ask some questions about how other groups handle this:
- Recommendations on which CMS if I've never used a CMS before? Which one
offers functionality that bike collectives typically need? Which one is easiest for end users?
- Where do you host your site? How much is it? Can non-profits get free or
reduced price hosting?
- Any other tips on website related stuff?

I'd recommend Joomla! as it is very powerful with lots of plugins. And we bike collectives can share web forms and data tracking.

I think the Bike Collective Network was offering free hosting but not sure if that offer is still good.
- Any other tips on website related stuff?
Joomla!, Joomla!, Joomla!

We use nearlyfreespeech.net and they are fantastic. It's also mind-bogglingly inexpensive (as far as low bandwidth goes). I find them so trustworthy that we paid them to register the domain, as well. Check them out, at least. They reassure me that teh intarwebs isn't quite dead yet.
