For the time been making a Joomla website in the current version is very easy when you get the administration and the relations of it to the website apearance. It is easly customizable with no programming knowledge. and if you use the extentions that are available you get a decent result in a very quick time. i have done a decorated cacke site in hebrew in a 2 nights period look here and see. i mostly edited the images and added content in the administration. the gallery is an expose gallery. to edit it you get a very nice tool. so in no time i got a site up. thogh Joomla! is not for an elaborate sites and is more sutible to small scale sites.

Not sure if this one has been noted - but it looks pretty good and they stole their design from basecamp

Eribium is a cms new one the scene. It's an easy-to-use, full featured, extendible content management system built with Ruby on Rails. Web 2.0 features including: rss, tags, ajax 'quick' editing, gmail style spell checker and overlays. It's in active development so any features you want, just ask. There's a demo here.

Drupal simply rocks. Being a designer and creating Drupal sites for three years now, I have to say that it’s really, really hard to look elsewhere. PHPTemplate (a theming engine) is pretty straight forward to create designs for. There are some things that take a while to get, and some things that def. need improvement. But Drupal is brilliantly built. So why did I land at this post?

I’m one of those “designer/programmers who are new to ruby and want a cms” … like Drupal.

If you’re looking to do it right, look at how Drupal works.

We built one too. It’s grown over the last couple years and includes cart, gallery, mailer, forums and more. Much cleaner and easier to use than other stuff we’ve looked at using (especially once we’ve gotten rid of the darn WYSIWYG editor). It’s in PHP but we’ve been thinking about a fresh new Rails rewrite. Not GPL’d as yet but considering going that way. Anyone else started? If so hows it going? Can we help?

I don’t want to talk about a yet another cms, but Drupal is an extreme modular cms.
http://www.drupal.org it’s php but a port of it could be a good point to start

I have been using Typo (http://typo.leetsoft.com) for maybe two months now, and really, it’s the best CMS I’ve used so far. Since its written in ROR, it’s incredibly easy fiddle around with (the language and organization of files is very straightforward). It is also filled with nifty AJAX things for live searching and comment previews and such. It is very easy to set up, it has a *very* simple themes engine…no crazy template language to memorize. It already has importing scripts for MT, WP, and TXP, too. So yeah, I’d recommend Typo as a wonderful ROR CMS solution.
