And the latest release is 6.12 (admittedly released under a week ago)
As for ease, I guess ones should install Drupal on a development machine. I
had no problem administering it when I tested it.

Are any of these content management systems worth looking at?
I would just wipe out the whole site and do a Drupal CMS, if that's what
we're looking for. We can add blogs to the Drupal system, and do a custom
theme to be similar to what we have. I would, however, prefer to install
Drupal manually, as the ones that tend to be in hoster panels tend to be
pretty outdated.
On which note, who has installed/run MediaWiki?
I did, albeit breifly. Found it too big for the purpose I wanted. I can
look at restricting access though.

https://hostingconnection.godaddy.com/AllApplications.aspx?id=8 (apart
from those with a $ next to them). I might be able to get something else for
Linux installed and running manually, but no promises there.
Site is now on PHP 5.x with 2 WordPress installs and a MediaWiki install
supposedly coming online soon.
The general look of the site is pretty good, and there’s plenty of graphics
that could be used even if we started from scratch again. I’m not entirely
happy with the Editors’ blog setup, as far as I can tell it was hacked
together instead of written as a WordPress theme. Looking at the ‘opinions’
blog I’ve installed, there’s a lot can be done to tweak a theme.
So, we’ll need a ‘house style’ to be applied across the entire site –
front, blogs, wiki. Assuming a main colour for this style, then a different
main colour but all the same appearance for the opinions blog to distinguish
it from the journalism process of editors’. The wiki might be the trickiest
part, but depending on how fine-tuned access can be implemented on MediaWiki
the whole thing may need hidden from all but users granted access – in which
case who cares if it is really pretty. [Yes, this is for the embargoed
wiki.]

Since I did the first incarnation of wikinewsie, I don't mind doing the
second.
