I know another group that migrated to Joomla due to it's ease of admin use.
What are the difficulties encountered by the editor?  Drupal, for instance,
isn't bad to administer as long as you're adept at navigating cascades of menus.
It also has a plugin to put an admin bar across the top of the screen that 
somehow
is easier to navigate, for me at least.

What features do they need?  Full on workflow? Or just gated editing and 
creation?

My freshly arrived Linux Journal has the reader's choice awards the CMS winners 
were

  25%  WordPress (not just for blogging anymore?)
  23%  Joomla 
  19%  Drupal

WordPress certainly presents a nice, easy to navigate, easy to customize 
through live 
drag and drop interface.  The only mental contruct to keep in mind is "posts" 
vs "pages".
Posts being the things that show up on your front page blog like and pages 
being the static 
content you present at fixed URIs.
