Hello InterNetWorkers --

I am looking at installing one of the CMS products offered by  
DreamHost in the nifty "One-Click Installs" section of their online  
control panel.  I know tiny bits-n-pieces about three of these  
products (mostly read/overheard in prior CMS conversations), but would  
like to query the expert advice of this list.

Have you used any of these products?  In your opinion, what are the  
relative merits and/or weaknesses of these products?  Any other advice  
for a novice site builder?

http://www.pligg.com/ - This one I've never heard of before.
http://moodle.org/ - Geared towards EDU environments I understand.
http://www.joomla.org/ - This one seems to be the most popular.
http://www.mediawiki.org/ - A wiki is just as good as a CMS, right?  :)

My goals with this are fairly simple.  I would like to build a site  
about Moscow, Idaho and it's local attractions.  This is a personal  
project to help me learn more about the town while providing a little  
organized feedback for locals.

Many thanks for your help!
David M.
