Intranet packages?

Horde does all that.

KnowledgeTree is a good document management system in PHP and can
integrate with other systems like Drupal which is an extensible
framework and Content Management System for the other modules.  Drupal
actually has modules like webFM that do file management -- but I
suggest KnowledgeTree if you want to add in workflows and true
document management.

I've never really like Plone, but if you're looking for something
Python and Zope-based, then you should like Plone as an intranet.
