Hello, sageworksinc:
Here is a list of the scripts you requested, with some comments of
what are the used for and my opinion in most cases. As you can see,
the list is long, but please, don't hesitate to request more detailed
info on any of them.
Blogs
-----
b2
http://cafelog.com/
It's a very simple web log, just to publish news, it's like the news
module of Postnuke.
b2evolution
http://b2evolution.net
Is a fork of b2, they have taken the source code of b2 and have
developed a new version, adding features, but without leaving the
simplicity of b2, that is, it's just a blog, not a full CMS (Content
Management System) as phpnuke and postnuke are.

Nucleus

or great on this.

Another CMS, without any originality, more of the same, I have used it
in the past and I prefere to use any kind of nuke, this script is not
updated very frequently.

The first CMS to be famous due the easy of use and installation, well,
I answered a question about it for you, what more can I say ;-)

http://www.postnuke.com
A fork of phpnuke, with the purpose to make it more secure and more open.
phpWebSite
http://phpwebsite.appstate.edu/
Another CMS, but developed by a university, in my opinion is very
primitive, but the main feature is that is XHTML and WAI compliant.
Siteframe
http://siteframe.org/
A "more-of-the-same" CMS.
Xoops
http://www.xoops.org
Yet another CMS, nothing new on the feature list, but the main feature
is that the code is OO (Object Oriented), that means that the code is
easy to maintain and expand.
