A community website..... Explain. Decide what features you want thiscommunity site to have. Once you've figured out(or explained) what
 type of services you want to offer to your community, and then check
 out hotscripts.com, or google.
 
 Three scripts that come to mind, are phpgroupware, phpbb, and
 phpnuke(or postnuke)

 Personally I don't like the term noob, but there are very few people
 on this list that I've come across who object to beginners questions.
 We were all beginners at some stage. On the other hand, quite a few of
 us(myself included), object to stupid questions. An example of a
 stupid question would be
 
 "I would like to create a 'community' website and was wondering if
 there was a framework available to get me started?".
 
 A better question would be:
 "I want to create a community website, where community members can
 send each other messages, post to a publicly viewable bulletin board,
 and share files. What frameworks are available for this.".
 
 Ok that wasn't that bad of a question(hey, I needed an example), but
 once you've read ESR's guide to asking smart questions(
 http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html ), and/or the guide
 for new members, that is regularly posted to this list. You can find
 it here: http://apache2triad.net/forums/archive/o_t__t_3613__newbie-guide-for-the-benefit-of-new-posters.html
