I realize this is blatantly ripped from collegehumor.com. That notwithstanding, I encourage you to watch this through the rebuttal.

CMS or something more simple?
If you were trying to start an "a cappella arrangements depository community" what would you build it on top of? An off-the-shelf content management system, a made-from-scratch-look-at-my-SQL-skills site, or some sort of software development bug-tracking platform (if only there were an open source Sourceforge somewhere...)? I was thinking about thinking about arrangements as pictures and using a flickr sort of model.
Content Management Systems
The content management systems (CMS) i've looked at include:
PHP-Nuke
Mambo
Plone
The trouble is that they are very strongly geared toward text/articles sorts of material rather than file distribution/rating/discussion. I've thought about maybe making each arrangement its own article, with a description of who wrote it, who has performed it, something about the original song, links to videos of performances, audio, et cetera. It could work. The problem really is that I want a front page that is really uncluttered and really throws you straight into a list of what arrangements are available without you having to navigate through categories, clicking, etc.
Any thoughts?
