The ArsDigita Community System is very intriguing, for all kinds of reasons. It's a combination of several applications in one, not just community (though that's how it started). It's written by Phil Greenspun, who's a bit of a geek god - check out ArsDigita Systems Journal for his writings. ACS itself is written in TCL but there's now a pure Java port. It's designed in a nice modular way, and there have been loads of extensions and modules contributed. It's all open source, too.
