Yedda is custom built, but a few days ago I heard about a contest that for the best open source community software. The finalists are Drupal , e107, Joomla!, Plone and Xoops. I think the results will be declared in a few weeks. I suggest you take a look at the finalists and decide which one suits your needs best.

There may be others too, of course.

I don't know of anything quite like Yedda, but if you are after a community driven website with interaction and the ability to build up a knowledge base I'd adopt a Wiki style approach with something like WetPaint or SocialText.  Both of these are wiki based, but also have good blog type facilities.  Wetpaint has a really nice interface, and a business model based on advertising, so it could provide you the website for free (apart from the effort involved in creating the structure and content).  I would recommend you check them out.  You could also develop something yourself with Joomla (straightforward) or Drupal (very flexible but complicated).  I've also seen this type of community site built using blog tools like Wordpress or Typepad.

CivicSpace is a derivative of Drupal mentioned by others. It has lots of features that community builders need like voting, forums and so on. You can make it as complex as you like which means you can build it out as needs change. It says it is aimed at non-profits and local communities but can be used for profit ventures.
