The term "Content Management System" is vague enough to be nearly meaningless. Some people take it to mean a document workflow system, to make sure documents correctly go through the writing, editing, layout, approval process. Some people take it to mean a collaborative publishing environment. Some people take content management as database backed content delivery system. I'd suggest that try to be a little more descriptive on what sort of problem you want to solve, and then look at package which have features that solve that problem. Once you find it, it will probably call itself a content management system, but that doesn't mean that some other content management system would fufill the same needs. O'Reilly based their O'Reilly Network on a product called Community Server Application Software. Slashdot runs off of slashcode. Activestate uses Zope as a backend production for part of their site. (Which is interesting, since Zope wants to be involved through the web delivery end.) CMSWatch runs on Midgard. WGBH runs ArsDigita Collaberation System, which is now owned by Red Hat.
