I believe he's looking for a content management system.

When I started a similiar journey as yours I read a lot about how 
PostNuke [2] went a different route than PHPNuke [1]. Then there were 
some developers from PostNuke who went on their own to develop Xaraya 
[3]. Xaraya is still in development mode with a release due in April (I 
think). When I compared phpnuke and postnuke I leaned towards postnuke 
for the way they were doing things. This has been over a year ago so I 
can't remember specifics right now but I've begun to look again.

[2] http://www.postnuke.com/
[3] http://www.xaraya.com/

There are tons out there so I'd be interested in any other comments you 
get :) My bet is that Xaraya when released will be a great one to go 
with, but right now I'm not sure you want to be in the testing phase :)

HTH!
