My CMS has an installer. Its web based and creates the database and installs the default data. But as Mark M said, there is no public API to create datasources and mappings.
As they, you cant please everyone.

Then, as I previously said, you have an excellent oportunity for a niche market. Can we expect the product to be available next week? If you succeed, then these two fine vendors (Straker/Daemon) will either: A) Pull their finger out and "get with the times" - once you demonstrate that it can be done as you suggest it can be B) Curl up and die a cruel and harsh death because they just dont know what they are doing [NOTE: the above are both toungue in cheek and I dont imagine either of those things coming to pass] And I still note that you have not nominated your actual feature set as yet and have simply used a catch-all of "CMS" to describe what you want. So, lets get real here. Nominate a feature set and then nominate a release date by which you will have the complete system available for download without any requirement to help the user through the process of installing and using the product. My point? I would imagine if it was possible to produce a CMS that did not require any designer/developer input that it would have already been built and none of us would be having this conversation and "someone" out there would be very rich. The fact is, there are PLENTY of people out there that can't even install Word out of the box either (that's why lots of small businesses make money out of charging people to be trained in such things).
