Comments for cognito
Re: TYPO3 / Drupal? :)
I have tried both. I found drupal to be too limiting in its
templates, and typo3 to be slow and cumbersome. I also
tried many others listed at opensourcecms, and just had
to write my own to overcome the limitations with
templates.
Cognito is designed especially for web designers that want
their sites to look the way they want, with the flexibility of
managing the content in a user-friendly way.
TYPO3 / Drupal? :)
re flexibility: did you look at TYPO3 (freshmeat.net/projects...) or Drupal?
Maybe joining an already-established project is not so glorious as starting your own but it's definitely suspect to be *far* more productive. :-)

Well I'm afraid that by maturing time of yet another CMS it will be funny to remember drag-slow P4/AMD64s :)
Regarding cumbersome, it's either powerful and simple maybe in concept but not in all of its glory (tm), or usable for one's personal projects to be simple enough in general.
Getting people to help with code ruins the latter model in a month...

And web designers shouldn't worry about technical things like establishing site engine: they should worry about templates -- these are quite different tasks asking for quite different skills which are rare to combine.
Maybe look at TYPO3 3.8.0-dev and specifically "one-minute website (typo3.org/documentatio...; article? Fixing mature product without harsh design faults is more productive than rolling one's own...
Anyway, good luck :-)
