I think this is fairly simple thing and plain javascript should be enough.
CSS3 should be enough for the fading transitions.

And, HTML5 is a very broad term that includes a lot of new features and I
don't know which part you are talking about. The term is often loosely used
and even CSS3 is said to come under the umbrella term. Did you mean HTML5
canvas?

yes this can be one option , but i am sure  one of the reasons to move to
something like Wordpress is to get over once shortcomings in coding css and
maintenance , yes Wordpress is a CMS .

Word press has multiple themes  in the back end and administrtor can enable
it , also i am sure there must be some theme which will allow one to give
the freedom to change the theme to the user, i am not too fond of this
feature anyway .

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WordPress#Vulnerabilities and
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=security

with so many http://en.wordpress.com/stats/ installations and frequent
release cycles they are bound to have vulnerabilities

here is a must have for any wordpress based site http://akismet.com/ to
stop spam

You are smart enough you will figure it out :-) , i see
http://jetpack.me/about/ this as interesting development , looks like at
last they have realized on how to many money out of there infrastructure
onto test drive with it.

Now we can always doubt this initiative then it it better not use the
service/software/platform , same goes with so many other things in life
like driving , walking on the road, flying in a plane or having a Facebook
or Google account :-)

The source looks terrible with all the java script.

Try to use a plain css based design or can wordpress be good enough like a CMS?

Remove proprietary fonts:  "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial

Permit multiple themes.

Display mails on hover ?

What is a security plugin in Wordpress.

This is just my opinion that Wordpress websites have been often compromised
to serve malware :-(

The picasa albums widget uses flash. I feel using flash in a LUG website is
counterproductive. Found a widget that uses javascript, from a quick
search. http://ottodestruct.com/blog/2006/picasa-web-wordpress-widget/
Haven't used it. Will try it and post the feedback.
