Wordpress, PodCMS and Search

Hey guys, I have a WordPress site for a client. He owns a video store, and I made a site for him to update the list of movies, usually just the "new this week" movies.

Can you recommend wiki, forum, blog & cms plugins for an existing Rails app or should I go the route of Engines?

Hello. I have an existing Rails internal app, that handles inventory, invoicing, order taking, labeling, data imports/exports, etc, etc. Now I need to add blog, cms, forum and wiki functionality to it.

Patterns for dynamic CMS components (event driven?)

Sorry my title is not great, this is my first real punt at moving 100% to OO as I've been procedural for more years than I can remember.
