This is a problem I'm working on myself. My employer has spec'd a very ambitious community portal and I am lost. Joomla! doesn't seem to offer the different types of users I want and Drupal doesn't seem as well supported. But I've never done anything like this so I'm not even sure what I'm talking about.

I'd like to use php/mySQL on an Apache server.
We'll have a small handful of admins, two types of content providers who can manage access to their own sections and tens of thousands of users with different types of paid and free access.

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Even if it's 'hire someone who knows what they're doing'.

One step ahead of you. I'm having a bit of trouble grokking the cck. Right now I'm putting the archive section together and I want to set up a podcast section with 200ish hosts and several thousand mp3s.

I've ordered a couple Drupal 6 books and I registered for the Bay Area Drupal Camp, badcamp.net. I feel like I'm missing the underlying idea for Drupal and I'm hoping that a face to face conversation with a guru will really help me understand what it's all about.
