I've played the whole CMS game a few times. Never found one I liked.
Mambo/Joomla was always just too damn hard to get working properly.
This is what I need:
Simple cms. Not really a 'blog' style. Something I can build a simple (maybe 5 category) web site, with the possibility of having a second level of content. So I could have a "About site" as one of the main 5 categories, then say 5 or 6 sections below the "About site" category.
Navigation on every page...maybe have the current category "expanded", others collapsed. That might be skin thing, might not.
Multiple skins available to get me going.
Don't need user accounts and whatnot. Only going to be one user.
Don't need anything else fancy, like..forums, RSS feeds, uploads, any of that.
As for the backend...it isn't a big deal. PHP/MySQL would be good. But really, anything that I can get going on a Linux box.
Also, I'd prefer if it had some nice URLs. Not things like "cat=Category&page=1". If it can handle Apache URL rewriting, that would be good. Then the page could be something like "domain.com/Category" or whatever.
