Hi all,
 
 Just popping a note to everyone that we recently released version 2.0.0 
 of our SilverStripe open source cms.
 
 It was recently featured on the homepage of ajaxian.com, del.icio.us etc 
 which led to us a small write up at 
 http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2007/02/being_delicious.html
 
 In short, its a CMS focused on "web 2.0" usability. We see many CMSs as 
 having too many interface features, and much like most cellphones that 
 are overloaded with features in a bid to sell phones, you end up with 
 something that then becomes unusably complex... it often takes 18 steps 
 to just the most simple common task, which defeats the whole purpose.
 
 We still do have things like WYSIWIG editors, content-reuse, 
 history/rollback, drag n drop sitemap editors, but without freaking you out!
 
 It then contains a framework similar to Ruby on Rails or PHP's Cake to 
 build your website and to extend the CMS, which is how modules like 
 forums and shopping carts are written.
 
 Have a play at http://demo.silverstripe.com/admin/?oscom
 (login as "admin" and "password")
 
 You can then download the source (BSD license) at www.silverstripe.com, 
 which also has forums, tutorials, examples, et al
 
 Siggy
