Content management tools
Could someone recommend a content management tool that is oriented
toward the end user who is not necessarily very technically adept or
html savvy. Don't really care about the developer tools,
the developers can fend for themselves. The application is to provide
the website owner with the ability to manage new content on their
page but not have to know a lot technically.
There appear to be many choices and evaluating each for this set of
qualities is not going very well since the documentation is written
with the administrator/developer in mind.
Thank in advance for your comments.

Thats a huge question, and the requirements of "I need a CMS" don't give
much to go on. As yet there is only one publicly available mod_perl "CMS",
though I don't think it fits your bill, and its the Mason one.
Depending on your budget the market for CMS' is pretty huge, so its hard
to recommend anything particular.

Look at a combination of Interwoven and ArborText.
Thanks
