still, perhaps it might be interesting to have a look at lenya and then 
focus on adding features, code auditing or optimization as your project?
lenya does have pretty neat role-based access control, but it sure could 
do with an extra couple eyeballs for a security audit.
it also uses ehcache, but it's caching friendliness could be improved a lot.
our editor support is doing quite well with a selection of 6 editors, 
but there's always another one out there that might be fun to integrate :)

then again, lenya's learning curve is quite steep initially - what time 
frame does your assignment have?
