Please go for "Drupal".It's an open source content management system which exactly solves your need(Collaborative publishing).It has got number of modules including blog,forum,poll,archives,newsletter with plenty of customizable modules.I personally feel it is more user friendly than plone,

Here it is
http://drupal.org/

For the list of other CMS

 Zope or, Zope and Plone might be suitable.  There is a variety of Products 
easily installed into the base.  Products that are relative to your inquiry 
are 
Zope:
 Coreblog and ZRTChat

Plone (plone 2 not 3):
 Coreblog2 (includes RSS feeds) and PloneChat

You might want to look at google chat also.

There are many more Products you might find of use at http://zope.org or 
http://plone.org .

We us Coreblog as our news page and run the Product ClockServer to update the 
RDFSummary and RDFGrabber products to display the 3 most recently added news 
items to Coreblog on our home page, http://www.library.appstate.edu/ .  The 
news page is at http://www.library.appstate.edu/blog/news .  Coreblog 
automatically updates the Recent Entries list,  the number of items in the 
Categories list, an Archives list, and hot links on the Calendar display.  
The only change I made to the source of Coreblog was to sort categories 
newest to oldest instead of the default oldest to newest, an easy and quick 
edit.


All of these are simple to set up and I would be available for questions if 
you decide on these items.  I would suggest running apache in front of Zope 
and use redirects, this provides the best security.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words.  As videos could be 25 pictures 
per second and might last several minutes, how many words is that?
