haha, depends on how complex you want to make it... also it takes a lot of time, and I doubt anyone would want to share their own cms, but who knows.

it depends. do you just want simple download archives and news bulletins? or do you want plugin compatibilty? do you want to able to drg and drop to install a theme? all of these are questions to help you figure out how hard it is to make your own CMS.

but why not use one that already exists?

The ones that already exist tend to be overengineered, in my opinion. I tend to reinvent the wheel in this aspect as not only a learning experience, but to keep overhead to a minimum, and experiment with new domain models.

Thats always been my concern too :?

For just simple dynamic pages, static content type web sites...I've never been able to find a solution which wasn't overkill...

phpWCMS was the closest I have found and the nicest interface, but still...

I ended up rolling my own :)
