My tip would be WebGUI. WebGUI has a community that exists for a large part out of companies. And these companies often hire contributors (both full employment and freelance). Also with your html and css experience you could create themes. You can share or even sell them on the Bazaar.

It is based on Perl in stead of PHP. But if you stay with design you will never see a single line of Perl. And if you rather do some coding, Perl should not be that hard to pick up for someone with PHP experience.

WebGUI is a much more powerful CMS than Joomla, and it's much easier to write plugins for.

that should of course be http://www.webgui.org./

"But to get the most out of any CMS, its functionality must be extended, through the addition of modules, most of which are created by third-party developers."

There are some great CMS' out there that give you "the kitchen sink". Sure they also give you API's and there are third-party plugins available, but who wants to deal with that mess, unless I suppose you're a huge company with lots of $$$ to waste developing/integrating all that code. One of the better ones I've seen is WebGUI. It has content publishing features, community features, e-commerce features, intranet features, and a whole lot more out of the box. And what's more, you can template every one of those features right from the user interface...no programming necessary.

WebGUI has a calendar system that allows you to pull in data from other calendars (if they support iCal), and then republishes a new iCal feed with all the data consolodated. It's designed for Linux and Apache, but it's a mod_perl application rather than a mod_php application.

WebGUI is an intranet in a box, it's free, and it can handle all your IT needs.

http://www.webgui.org/

It has versioning and workflow so you can set up complex processes. You can store your documents on it and access them from anywhere. You can set up privileges to allow other users to publish/download anything you want. It can handle incident tracking so you can keep track of support requests. It integrates with Active Directory or any other LDAP store so you can use your same user accounts/passwords. And it's used by companies all around the world (from multi-billion dollar companies down to mom and pop shops) to do exactly this kind of thing.

Just switch Slashdot over to the best CMS out there.... WebGUI: The Web Done Right!
