It's all there in CMF (so it should be in plone too).  There are CMF
wikis (and regular zwikis outside CMF), and you can have both
portal-level wikis with various combinations of access and
permissions, as well as individual portal-member wikis.  And
everything can be delgated at different levels, since users can have
multiple inherited roles/permissions.

Every Zope change is captured in the change history (with mutiple
levels of undo) and all CMF types (documents, images, everything)
have automatic version-control each time they change state (ie,
publish, retract, etc).

CMF also has a builtin calendar (re => event type), news (re => news
item type) and at least two different bug/issue tracking plugins
(either the Collector or Tracker).

So pretty much out of the box, Zope/CMF/Plone gives you:

1) news and calendar
2) global text and meta-data search
3) bug/issue tracking
4) wiki stuff
5) workflow-based and version-controled document types (all types)
6) groovy inherited roles and permissions
7) multiple skins (css and zope page templates)

and more I can't think of right now...

Does that sound like it covers everything?

If you just want to make an account and play a little, check out

Or you can join my cheesy zope/cmf experiment:

(I just added this one, so there's really not much there yet, but it
will give you an idea of a slightly dated version of a virgin CMF
portal).

Join the portal, login, and check the member preferences, add a type
or two, change the skin, etc.  The forst one is the CMF dogbowl, so
it's pretty bleeding edge (thus you might see a bad skin or
something) but it's been up for several years...
