There is also "zena", the tool I am writing. Compared to mephisto, it
does *not* have an admin interface. All data insertion, editing,
publication is done directly on the site, usually with ajax. It is
also more "content" oriented : of course, you add "pages" and
"images", but depending on your domain, you will make your own
specialized "objects" like "painting", "scuplture", "exhibition" if
you are an artist or "house", "client" or "renovation".

The official beta release is planned for the end of January (when I
have more time to write the tutorials and respond to questions).

And just a final note: the templating language in zena is *very*
powerfull (it is meant to handle all the site's logic). This is a
simple example of the code to show thumbnails of the houses for sale :

<ul do="houses from site" where="d_sold=false" order="random">
  <li do="each"><r:img src="icon" mode="pv" link="self"/></li>
</ul>

(the "d_sold" stands for "dynamic attribute 'sold'").
