I see no need to spend time and energy building/customising one. There
are quite a few free python based CMSes out there that we can use
(Plone is an example).

http://us.pycon.org/2009/about/ - Custom app (AFAIK)
http://www.europython.eu/ - Moin
http://www.pyconuk.org/ - HTML + Moin
http://apac.pycon.org/ - Plone
http://liwo.polsl.pl/pycon-pl - Plone

I couldn't figure out some of the other PyCon sites.

We should have *a* wiki on the site. Whether it should be only wiki is
debatable and the points you've raised are valid.
