True enough.  Really, guys, calm down.  Thisw was in no way menat to be
a condemnation of Java.  I was just asking for an open source Java-based
CMS (or forum or BBS, or whatever you want to call it).  I was surprised
that few existed, and I was just presenting my findings and asking for
help.  I'm actually thinking of giving Zope/Plone a shot, since that
will force me to become more familiar with Python.

Dieter, read my response to Marc.  This is NOT a "Java list".  This is
an iSeries list.  Its focus is using Java in conjunction with the
iSeries (and in cooperation with all the other tools available on the
iSeries).  That includes RPG, but it also includes DB2 and the IBM
Toolbox, and all sorts of other goodies.  The main difference between
this list and Java lists is that this list will use another language
where appropriate.
