Drew,
A couple of weeks ago I was part of a panel on Content Management
Systems presented to the Nonprofits - Technology Enterprise Network.
You can find various pieces of the presentation, including a draft list
of CMS features and a substantial list of resources on CMS at
http://wysiwyg.skybuilders.com/cms/ (or go
to http://wysiwyg.skybuilders.com and click the CMS link).
Hope this helps.
For those who don't want to link to web pages, here's our short list of
CMS features:
separation of presentation and content
presentation templates (HTML, DHTML/CSS, XML/XSL)
structuring the content (chunking information + metadata tagging)
content editor (text only, HTML?, WYSIWYG
<http://wysiwyg.skybuilders.com> visual editing?)
separation of development from production
create, collect assets (text, images, sounds)
manage (editing, tagging, layout, QA on staging server)
publish (deploy, deliver to production server)
user interface
file manager view of server directories
web-based editing tools (preferably cross-platform - Java, Mozilla,
Flash)
content repository, stored in database or files?
roles (writer, editor, graphics designer, publisher)
check in/check out vs. different files and merge problems
access permissions (privileges management)
workflow management (email reporting, who's doing what)
rollback/versioning
advance scheduling/expiration of pages
multilingual/localization/globalization
My particular part in the panel was an overview of the CMS industry
<http://wysiwyg.skybuilders.com/cms/CMSToday.html> lately, and the
introduction of the first full-featured cross-platform HTML WYSIWYG
editor <http://wysiwyg.skybuilders.com> (a Mozilla XUL application).

Has anyone done anything similar to this? Are there any good resources
that might help me with the "what is a CMS" bit?
