Fight back against "Frankensite". Typical:
- Postnuke CMS + 1-2 modules (ex. Calendar)
- Gallery for pics
- phpwiki for wiki
- phpBB for forums
Problems:
- Different look & feel, different User Interfaces (UI)
- Different logins
- Many applications to manage
- Smarty template engine & CSS for easy configuration of look & feel. Theme control center
