My office mate at Sun has been working on an information-
sharing utility for some time. He got so far as
implementing a better PHP-like language based on TCL
that allows embedding HTML within the commands, within
which TCL commands can be embedded, within which... etc.
Apparently PHP (which can add command strings to HTML)
does not have that capability, which makes his
contraption quite a bit better. He also added MySQL
support and investigate running it under Apache.
BUT...
His take on things was that, rather than continuing to
develop that process as a solo venture, it made more
sense to build on the systems offered at:
http://www.javacorporate.com/
Apparently they offer a Java-based candidate that utilizes
servlets and Java Server Pages (JSPs) to build Web portals.
(JSP is a sort of easily-constructed servlet that you write
by creating something more akin to an HTML document than a
Java program.)
From their site:

"A toolbox of high quality Java Servlet Components with
source code.
"Javacorporate offers a collection of free and commercial Java
servlet based products - ALL with source code. Products are

I haven't done a full scale investigation, but under the heading
of "hackability", this one is liable to receive high marks.
(To be determined: How much WebLog-style functionality is already
there, or would have to be added.)
