It would be boring to have (fsf|gnu).org.in to be running phpnuke/slash/squish/zope and the likes.
The present consensus is to use plain html for static content and zope for dynamic content (such as free software directory, news, events, ongoing projects etc). The choice of zope for the latter is actually very appropriate because it enables collaborative development; groups of authenticated volunteers can contribute entries to the zope web-applications in an organised manner.

Correct! It is possible for me to give permission to maintain a directory or even a file to somebody, without giving him/her total control of the site.
As for the choice of squishdot for the forum, is there a need for an argument? Of course, there may be alternatives, but since it is already in place, let us accept in and carry on with the real work of providing content as you have rightly stressed. But I don't understand what you mean by describing these solutions as "boring."
If we have time, we should spend it for applications that need to be developed. A web magazine problem is solved, let us not reinvent it unless something is seriously wrong with the available applications.
