To guess at what Mikel means, it's rather you set up a CMS which can host many sites, and different accounts may become admin.s for one site, or many. Mephisto does that. It would be nice to have something that powerful, but I wouldn't aim at it to start with.
About pushing CMS content across environments, I do that now. Obviously capistrano can handle the file deployments, but I run a rake task 'archive' which dumps all database information from postgres into a tar, which is stored in git (and transported by capistrano across env.s). Then I run 'rake restore' to load the db with this snapshot. Works well. About the above offers to collaborate, I'd devote some time to hammering out a simplified platform others could extend, but I would want to do it with coders in my proximity, as a starting point. I think this is the basic thing to get right, because you want to verify that you can pass the platform to others and they can extend it easily as a basic proof of concept. If anyone is interested in a coding session in Melb.s give me a shout.
