It's called Sitellite. It's currently in its 4th version. you can download it here: http://sitellite.org Instead of PERL (which some say is difficult to use) it's made in PHP which is easier to install, use, and learn, and uses MySQL and Apache. Unlike WebGUI, it is both a CMS and a framework and does all the same stuff out of the box, but also has a fully featured versioning system, cross-platform WYSIWYG editor (including the dreaded MS Word cut/paste), workflow, and separate templates as well. Also unlike WebGUI it has a community site dedicated JUST to sitellite which has all the free support you could ever need: manuals, articles, discussion lists. And finally, Sitellite also has a company behind it to provide professional support and e-commerce add-ons, etc. WebGUI isn't bad, but in my experience Sitellite is better. I have about 30 sites using it right now and I've had no problems. josh WebGUI isn’t bad, but I’ve found that another Open Source CMS is better. It’s called Sitellite.

I'll check it out. I think it might have been worth mentioning that you're somehow affilitated with Sitelite--the email you posted is the same as the email address on the registration confirmation I received from Sitelite.org. Sitellite looks interesting though, I plan on giving it a spin. Josh,

Community necessarily implies affiliation, does it not :) Why would I affiliate with a worse product? josh Of course I’m affiliated with Sitellite – as I said they have a good developer community.
