CMS

I built a website some time ago with a self built CMS using FCKEditor. Being on e of my early creations the code is a bit rough to say the least and I never released any access to the CMS to the user. I found FCKEditor was fine for typing along but as soon as you went back to make a correction especial in the way of formatting it would brake.
I have since used Tiny MCE on another project and built a nice image uploader (Something that previously put me off TinyMCE before) but to be honest are not to sure. I was thinking of using an open source CMS. I have recently used OS Commerce for a e-commerce site with fantastic results and has really made me change my mind about the usefulness and dynamics of open source.
Time is of the essence here, I am really busy on other projects and things and really could do with something that will implement fast and be dynamic. Although this site was a freebie I don't want to let my friend down anymore with him relying on me doing all the updates.
Any pointers on any good open source CMS with be much appreciated. :wink:

The only ones that I can think of off the top of my head are Mambo, Joomla and Drupal. I've not used any of them so I can't be much help there.

For what kind of site is it? That's were your choice will depend on.

If it's a basic content-rich website with pages and news, Wordpress is a good candidate

It is very basic content, no blogs or anything. It is broken down into sections on each page with each section being a div.
