After years of studying them all I use three:
Movable Type
Expression Engine
Wordpress
In that order.
Reasons?
They are easily configurable and accessible systems which allow changes and
additions very easily.
Any cms you are thinking of, spend some time studying the templates and menu
systems.
Are they easy to access and make changes or are they all over the place? Any
besides these I have found to be basically nuke lookalikes.
Complex, templates inside templates and inconfigurable without a steep
learning curve that just isn't worth it.
I agree totally with Jeff Veen:
Making A Better Open Source CMS
http://www.veen.com/jeff/archives/000622.html
been there done that.
You can make any system strict if you want. Events calendar just add one on.
Or get one with an events calendar and spend two weeks trying to configure
and learn the rest of it....

Subject: [WSG CMS] Strict CMS
Hey,
I am new to CMS and find it hard to select one that will work for me and
my client (non-profit organisation) and thought I could use some advice.
I am interested in a CMS that is:
* XHTML Strict
* Built-in Accessibility features.
I also need one that has the following:
* Blog with commenting
* RSS syndication
* Events calendar and option for people to sign up for events
* Basic image galleries
* Search options
* Donation option in the future
I was looking at Xaraya or Web GUI.
But any advice would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Elle
