Came across this one this morning which I like: https://www.renehornig.com/

As for content management, I'm leaning towards using MovableType OS for the
main site, and then a MojoMojo install for the rest of the wiki.  I also
wonder if it would be prudent to have a forum setup.  I know we have a
mailing list, and that is definitely the geek-preferred method, but it may
not hurt to have forums... and Parley is a Catalyst app that does just that,
so it may be a good "marketing" move.

I've been playing around a lot with MovableType just to see (which has been
a distraction from finishing my docpage project, stagnating at
http://catsite.toeat.com/docs/Catalyst-Manual-Intro.html) and I think it
fits the bill for static/moderated content.  I just wonder how much of that
is necessary with the docpage project though.  The hosted blogs are nice,
but how many people are really going to be interested in using it?
