typo3 is one of the CMS's I looked at when setting one
up. i thought it was overly complex to manage and a
resource hog.

instead i chose and would strongly recommend bricolage
(www.bricolage.cc)

it is used for some big sites like macworld.com and
salon.com (and some others that i can't remember right
off the top of my head). once it is set up it is very
easy for non-tech types to use to maintain web site.
And it puts up very clean code that can be used by any
standard web server without running anything more than
apache.

Linux Journal is publishing a series of articles about
Bricolage. Reuven Lerner, who is writing the series,
is also "enthusiastic about Bricolage."

Reuven covers the installation of Bricolage, as well
as a discussion of Bricolage's dependencies (Apache,
mod_perl, PostgreSQL, etc.). He also examines
Bricolage's data model and its application
architecture. It's a good, technically-oriented
introduction to Bricolage.
