I have very little exposure to it, but SilverStripe
(http://www.silverstripe.com/) might merit some investigation.

There are three main reasons I'm interested in adopting a CM solution:
1. Our small technical publications department has started to
translate 20+ manuals, 3 Eclipse help systems, and several HTML
documents into non-English languages (such as French) and I'm finding
it difficult to manage all the content for handoffs. This year the
number of languages we'll be translating will potentially triple, so I
would like to be able to generate reports on where the linked content,
entities files, graphics files, and graphics source files reside for
each document, and also keep track of files that have been handed off
to the translation agencies. (Right now it's a bit of a mess.)
2. Ideally, a CM solution would keep all of the components of the
DocBook toolchain (Saxon, FOP, etc.) updated, and I could simply
maintain the custom stylesheets we use. Unfortunately, I don't have
time to continously update the toolchain components.
3. Our company is growing, so we'll be hiring additional writers this
year. Although our DocBook implementation works fine for me, it's
unwieldly and difficult to train new writers. Ideally, a CM
solution integrates with a user friendly, WYSIWYG authoring tool
(rather than the Eclipse editor that I use). The authoring tool
doesn't need to be part of the CM solution, and it could be third
party tool such as the Oxygen editor.
We already use Perforce to control DocBook XML source, so I don't need
a CM solution for checkin/checkout. If the CM solution provided a
central database repository for source control, I'd consider switching
to that instead if the other CM benefits are compelling.

Hi Jeff,
There is a pretty wide range of content management systems out there.
All of them would support checking in DocBook files, since those are
just text files. It would help if you could post some more detailed
requirements. What are you looking for the system to do? How will it
be used, and by how many people, etc.

I'm looking for a content management solution that supports
DocBook. I would consider both commercial and open source
solutions. I would appreciate any recommendations, warnings, or
tips that anyone has to offer.
I'm also considering upgrading from DocBook 4.5 to DocBook 5.x, so
would be interested to hear of CM solutions that support DocBook 5.x.
