I agree with the need of a CMS for a "main" site along with a wiki 
(MojoMojo or the existing trac one) ... as for forums, put some up and 
see if they get used.

AFAIK, most people involved with Catalyst either use vox or host their 
own blog (Angerwhale or smth like that). I think a CMS that generates 
static content would fit the bill. No need for fancy stuff like hosted 
blogs.

I'm up for it, mainly for maintaining the website.
