One word answer: Plone. http://plone.org <http://plone.org> . A Zope/CMF
CMS realization/UI/add-on product - works (and works well) out of the box,
and a bit of tweaking, codeing, and some experimenting will get you much,
much more. Has a well-thought-out UI design, and binary
installers/controller apps for several platforms.
There is also a plone-users mailing list that is very active.

Subject: [Zope] Content mgt for non-technical people
Hello,
I am very new to Zope, but am impressed about the way it enables you to
formalise site logic and the look and feel. However in the short time I've
been using Zope, it does not seem to be a very suitable environment for
non-technical people to add content to the site. Preferably, I would like
people to be able to create new or modify existing content items, possibly
with some workflow, without them having the need to edit html/dtml
documents. For example, a content editor is presented with a form for each
content type, where he can enter the relevant data in plain text and when
the form is submitted, the data is entered as Zope objects in the zope
server.
Did I overlook some features in Zope or are there readily available modules
that accomplish this? Do I have to build it myself?
Regards, Robert
