At this moment, we could look into something like the XOOPS Facil
The list of modules should be very basic and very bullet-proof, i.e. better less, but secure and tested over time, so the "first experience" with XOOPS is very good.
But seriously, of course we would like to release it ASAP, but it's depending on testing. We are working now on a Beta release. You can help us by testing the Alpha 3 release and reporting any bugs...
