Well, my group's project is an open-source, freeware game development project.
I normally would not post in here and instead dig up all the information we need but am too tired. Pardon me!
We've been looking at Xaraya, Joomla, and countless other CMSes.
These are the most important features we need:
- an inbuilt or supported Wiki like MediaWiki(we'd prefer MediaWiki)
- custom user permissions. Disable anonymous browsing. (Drupal has it.)
- Multiple groups for each user. (Drupal has it.)
- ability to configure and manage content on multiple sites (Dear gods, may the days of manually updating html after html be over!)
- charts(Currently, we have not decided what type we'd use. We're looking into pie charts, gantt charts, etc. )
- Supports forums(preferably SMF)
- Calender(for setting deadlines)
- Attachment features and ability to change file size of total attachments.
- Captcha codes when user logs in
- Automatic backup feature. Ability to send backup link to various email addresses.
Secondary features
- Who's online feature
- Polls
- Article ratings
- Statistics feature
- WAP browsing(very useful if one of our members is without computer access for a few days or weeks.)

drupal should be a good choice
>> an inbuilt or supported Wiki like MediaWiki(we'd prefer MediaWiki)
the drupal "book" feature does act like wiki
>> ability to configure and manage content on multiple sites (Dear gods, may the days of manually updating html after html be over!)
this is not clear, meaning you want to run multiple instances of drupal with same user base ?
>> charts(Currently, we have not decided what type we'd use. We're looking into pie charts, gantt charts, etc. )
this is a GD function, you can implement in the way you like
>> Supports forums(preferably SMF)
drupal forums are quite good !!
>> Calender(for setting deadlines)
calendar plugin or event plugin can take care of that
>> Attachment features and ability to change file size of total attachments.
YES !
>> Captcha codes when user logs in
probably you have plugin for that
>> Automatic backup feature. Ability to send backup link to various email addresses.
backups can be done , automatic or cron functions can be set via the website admin I guess
>> Secondary features
- Who's online feature
- Polls
- Article ratings
- Statistics feature
all the above are there
- WAP browsing
it depends on the client side
