Hello!
It's being two days as I'm looking for a CMS. After seeing many I came to conclusion that Drupal and Geeklog are the best. I discovered a new name Plone in the forums, going to see what is it. Anyway, here are my suggestions. I didn't install and tried Drupal, so sorry if these features are available, I made my conclusions from the documentation and from the look of other sites using Drupal that I saw.
I. Suggestions.
1. I would like two options in the Blog. One option is to leave a comment to which only a certain group can answer. The second option is to leave a comment in the message board for all to answer. I would like the comments to go into the main message board where other than the Blog itself topics are discussed. I would like both types of comment to go into one category and section, yet, at the same time I want one to be able to choose which type of comments does one wants to see.
2. I would like to be able to use PHPBB as I believe, that many dedicated to one thing are bound to do something much better then many trying to do many things.
3. I would like a possibility to post a link to Blogs authors' profiles and to choose which one is shown by default both with the picture.
4. I need to generate a different HTML code for each item of the navigation menu based on its order. I need a way to know that certain item corresponds to the currently viewed page. I need to be able to switch items elements between two HTML codes for the rest.
