It's certainly the best choice out there, it is missing XML-RPC Posting, NewPost Pinging to notify Google and others of new content, and it doesn't have many templates for themes. (always hard because it chicken and eggs with content)
When I looked at it didn't have good page caching so it was REALLY expensive to run. I think I was looking at $1.75 CPM for hosting. I could have re-written it to fix that. but out of the box it was rough.

The hill to get over in terms of install base is formidable when you consider that Java, and Python are not as commonly spoken languages as PHP, Ruby, and ASP. That's why www.LockerGnome.com moved to GAE via CDNinabox.com Rather than porting code it was far cheaper and easier to use GAE as an Accelerator than it was to create a CMS from Scratch. If you are going to build a CMS, from what our clients have asked for the top things they want that most CMS attempts are lacking: Post Via XMLRPC RSS by Tags, Author, Category XML Sitemaps Easy Conversion of themes from other CMS's to the CMS As such you may want to look at other Django templates for CMS's and try and be compatible with those, or mostly compatible with those, to make it easier for users to switch.

Is there a CMS for GAE in the making? I found myself creating the basic functions of a CMS from scratch ie adding, viewing, editing and deleting articles in a categorized system that I supposse Joomla could have done if it were PHP. Do you know of any projects for GAE that is like a CMS with the basic functions for instance that only the user who created an article can edit it?
