Another option is to “marry” Rails with a PHP-based CMS – use the PHP-CMS for the CMS front end and Rails as the back-end – and use Rails application parallel with the CMS generated pages! see: http://www.silverwirt.de/using-the-silverstripe-cms-within-rails/

There's another option: zena CMS It's moving very fast right now but supports many advanced features already (multi-lingual, groups based access rights, custom object classes, custom attributes, image resizing, live preview, most powerful templating language ever, etc). We have been working on this CMS since ... 2005, constantly testing new ideas. We are currently working hard to smooth everything for our jump out of beta this autumn. Stay tuned !

@Lucas: in adva-cms, you can use a rich ext editor (FCKeditor) for all content.

I have taked a look today at all the tree, and I agree. But browser cms has a nifty way to layout edition (i don’t figure out how to do it in radiant) and a html editor (I suposse radiand has a similar one if you search extensions)

Radiant seems impressive as well, its has many extensions: http://wiki.github.com/radiant/radiant#extensions

But i think they all lack a powerfull rich text editor like the one in moodle, for example.

Thanks 4 the post

Browser CMS is the most impressive and with plenty of potential but it’s not production ready yet, as of this date.

Adva-CMS seems very good and supports internacionalization so I would problably give it a try.

RadiantCMS is good for more simple sites, I think, there’s some extensions that help improve some of the missing features you’ll probably need.
