Usability Bazaar -- "Over the past few days, I've been doing some research for an easy-to-use web-based open-sourced content management system." (Comments: Good idea? Viable?)

I think there are a few out there, but it’s a matter of exactly what criteria you want to evaluate them by, what criteria they meet, etc.

Different ones may meet different needs according to different degrees, fulfilling some criteria, and not so much others.

Also, I have seen nothing that is dead easy for users, more training and documentation are needed.

Case in point. MoveableType is a great Blogging system, but just a quick look at it's message board tell you some people really have problems with it (understandably). That's why they are developing TypePad.

You could use Drupel, Zope, Lenya, whatever, but I feel in making any such decision, while usability is a very important issue, there are just as many other technical issues and client needs to take into consideration for the whole evaluation process.
