Three CMSes came up in my search. I checked the trac on each of them and they seem active. I've heard their names before, but haven't actually needed to try them. I hope it helps.<br><a href="http://django-cms.org/">http://django-cms.org/</a><br>

asked me about content management software for websites. He mentioned<br>
Drupal which I know nothing about. Feature-wise I presume he's going to<br>
want some fairly basic features: easy blog capability, user feedback,<br>
top-level control of page appearance and templating, RSS feed generation,<br>
basic database capability, probably role-based permissions.<br>
<br>
In the Python world I'm vaguely familiar with Plone and Zope (the former<br>
built on the latter, right?), but nothing else. I know plenty of folks like<br>
Django. Is there a content management system built on top of it? On the<br>
CMS page of the Python wiki:<br>
<br>

<br>
I see a handful, none of which I recognize other than Zope, Plone and<br>
PyLucid. I'm not keen on Zope simply because of its heft and seems like it<br>
woild be massive overkill here. That would seem to doom Plone as well. (Is<br>
it any easier to install/use?) PyLucid seems to have some of the features I<br>
mentioned about. I see someone (Massimo?) has built a CMS atop web2py<br>
called KPAX.<br>
<br>
So what to people use/recommend for CMS on smallish websites?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
