CoH modules for a CMS?

Hey there, I'm making a website for my supergroup and I was wondering if there are any CoH modules for any content management systems out there? Or, better yet, post links to modules I could use for my website that aren't necessarily for CoH but work with it anyways.
One more thing, kind of off topic of CoH, but what do you consider the best CMS for running a supergroup website? Thanks and I look forward to hearing people's responses!

I've had pretty good luck with Joomla!. (The exclamation point is part of the product name, not an indication of my unbridled excitement. I hate it when products do that. Same with the television show Jeopardy!. But I digress...)

It has a little bit of a steep learning curve, but certainly not insurmountable. Once you figure out their rationale and architecture, it becomes pretty easy to get around in. For forums, I'd suggest looking to Agora instead of Fireboard. Last time I checked, it looked like Fireboard was a dead project, or at least releases were very slow, including for major bugs.

My only complaints so far is that the back-end pretty much requires javascript, and the permissions system isn't very robust or customizable. Both of these are pretty minor, though.

I don't know of any CoH-specific modules, though, for Joomla! or any other CMS.
