Building a community site with WCM

[someone]

Hi

I'm a student doing my work placement at the moment. We're trying to build a community site that allows users to register and log in. It should also be possible to post news items, tag them en publish them on the site. We also want to show the visitors some documents from Alfresco. We have been looking at the WCM module but it hasn't got any of these features. Is there a module for doing this? Or are there any CMS systems that can be used as web project that offer this functionality?
Is this something that can be done with Alfresco Dynamic Website?

Thanks.

This almost sounds like a collaboration-style web site rather than an editorially managed web site.  If so, you might want to look at the DM functionality (particularly the collaboration features in 2.9+) rather than the WCM functionality.

You'll probably want to implement a custom UI in this case, and the Opsoro project (http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Opsoro) is a good example of how that can be done.

Cheers,
Peter
