Thanks Geoff

Features, system requirements, screenshots showing interface to all the tools, and 
examples of implementation is available here:

Everything you need to do as routine CMS duties are browser based. Including setting 
permissions, search indexing, log files etc.

Templates, Widgets and CSS are built via the browser interface. Since in my view a 
developer/designer implements/tests these and then they are simply uploaded to the 
required system directories.

Workflow - unlimited steps based on groups or users assigned to a category with 
workflow permissions. No complex routing rules - my experience with our previous 
product "DX" which was released about 4 years ago was that most customers were in fact 
happy with 3 steps for approval. More complex workflows are typically handled by other 
systems/procedures in the organization.

Remote authoring - web browser and java editor, so anywhere with a Internet connection 
to the server.

What does it address: simply you can publish a web site immediately after install, 
nothing else required. However you are obviously likely to spend time customizing the 
CSS and templates (and creating new templates) to suit your layout and visual 
requirements.

As an example:

Eric Meyer's lightweight slideshow solution - as you can see the layout is quite 
different to the main site. Simply a different template and CSS applied. Content is 
published from the CMS as for any other page.

Regards

Johan
