Chipping away at Dave's version some more:

The OpenACS project is a vibrant and supportive open source community cooperatively developing the Open Architecture Community System for the creation of dynamic web sites. We build software to enhance collaboration, communication, and knowledge transfer.

OpenACS is a community-oriented, localized, secure and scalable toolkit of reusable modules around a stable core. OpenACS is freely distributed under the GPL.
