I've added a CMS category to the weblog here. Shortly I'll go back and change all the CMS-related entries to the right label.

From the CMS LIst: This article by one of Digital Creations' staff highlights some of the common types of portal sites and their content management needs. Focused on Zope's CMF, but can easily be abstracted on-the-fly to CMSes in general.

Ok, I've seen some out-there developer sites, but this is one of the out-est. Mulle Kybernetik (literally "garbage cybernetics") is a "Mac oS X"/Cocoa shop with some cool Mac OS X and WO software.

Cofax.CMS is a content management system written in Java. It's open source, for those who care (of which I'm one), and was developed by (or in cooperation with?) Knight-Ridder publishing. Looks fairly full-featured and extensible.
