Hi, 

I think Fedora-france is more a website to consider as
www.fedoraforum.org than a pale copy of fedoraproject.org. So we really
need an efficient, robust, lightweight forum, like PunBB.

About the wiki, I personnaly tell that using moinmoin is very difficult
and completely unintuitive. That's my point of view. Then, it is not
very well translated into French. Dokuwiki is a very complete wiki and
easy to use. See it as a long dream wiki we would have liked to have for
ages. :)

About Plone, I don't really think we do need an entire CMS. Our CMS
actually helps us to manage the wiki (dedicated tool for XOOPS), the
forum (a dedicated forum created for XOOPS CMS) and a planet (dedicated
tool for XOOPS again). What we would like to do is : get rid of XOOPS.
It's very heavy, dedicated tools/plugins are not as good as stand alone
solutions and it makes websites look ugly. We would like to have a
website using standalone elements so as not to be stuck to one CMS, and
to be free to do what we want with each separate elements.

Hope this help you to understand better the situation.
