Yes, most are. Cocoon is no different, but is the fastest and most mature of them. It is being used in severe load-balancing situations (a couple of swiss banks, vodafone, etc.). Personally, because I've seen it work like that, I believe it would do the job provided there were people willing to learn it, etc. However, a Python portal solution seems quicker, easier in the short term and more inclusive.
For documentation, however, I have yet to see anything as comprehensive as Forrest. For example, it has TODO and FAQ DTD's, and generates printable and PDF docs from simple XML, which anyone would be able to author/contribute. As simple as that.
Just my 2p. I would be willing to help with a Python portal solution (since Python is my bag and I'd like to get into its web-publishing pants)
You really should take a look into Webware then (webware.sf.net). It doesn't always have to be Zope. Webware is very lightweight compared to Zope and is written with a strong focus on doing things "the Python way" while I see Zope often doing things "the Zope way", whatever that is. Webware has a great share of Java converts on board.
But I don't want to push things for a pure-data.org 2.0 in a certain direction. I just won't be of much help with the technical side, if the future CMS is PHP, because I don't have time to learn another language (that currently is useless inside Pd).
So if enough people are found for a PHP solution, that's absoluetly fine with me. I'd probably prefer Zope but with Zope or Webware, we might run into problems finding a decent ISP.
