[Typo3] Some basic features: do they need extensions?

[seml at symbulos.com]

I have been browing through the extension repository, but I 
have not found some basic option like:

- File manager
- Forum (discussion board)
- News management
- Membership management

Is it because they are integrated with the core package?

Thanks in advance.

Corrado
