I'm a bit late in responding, but I guess (having looked at PHP and the like myself) that I really mean (and should have originally posted) some sort of system that provides: 1) Revision control (as you mentioned) and allowing multiple people to update the same sort of info 2) A templating system and an easy interface (as you mentioned) with an option for adding things such as images (possible using HTTP file upload) 3) A system able to accept and then massage contributions via email, other web-feeds, etc. Those are the main bits I guess, particularly the template-based system to basically allow anyone (and everyone) to contribute. Mediasurface offer such a system (I believe) which someone told me is now appearing for Linux, and I remember seeing a system based on Java applets... I guess at the end of the day I was meaning a system that was built for the people more concerned about getting the content out quick without worrying about the technical bits, or (in the obvious case of longer written stuff) the design.
