Building a community site with drupal is not a big deal. There are existing module for that. Depend upon the requirement of the community what kind of feature you want to include on your site. There are events, newsletter ,poll,  forums and advance forums module of druapl. You can use these module to establish a community website. There is one distro of drupal openatrium developed for the purpose of community websites.
