I'm not asking for much. All I want is:

• Unlimited blogs, forums, wikis and portals feeding from a common pool of articles and comments. That is, a post can appear on a blog and a forum and a wiki, with its comments and other details intact.


• Sub-sites with their own domains - and their own layouts


• Group-based permissions


• Semantic markup


• RSS feeds


• Page, block and template based site construction


• In-line and out-of-line editing


• A few nice clean themes to start with


• Absolutely no PHP or SQL coding required of - or indeed available to - regular users


• Plugin / module architecture


• Web services API


• Runs on Linux


• Doesn't cost more than US$2000 (Free is good. Open source is better.)


• Fully integrated and self-contained. I don't need a choice of three different blog modules, each using a different commenting system.


• An application, not a service.


• No usage restrictions. None of this "you can't run a hosting service" stuff.


• Background processing for big tasks like spam removal.


• Scales to thousands of sites.

Any ideas?

I have a list of nice-to-haves, but it's kind of long. I'll post that later.
