Yes, drupal does this. It also natively includes caching (which I think you need to consider further, regardless of chosen CMS). >> I'm not sure why you want to see a demo installation of any one CMS, > > SInce that is the best method to actually try it out/prove all who say > "CMS X fullfills all your requirements and your grandmother could use > it". I honestly feel this does *not* prove anything. A CMS like Drupal is a very large platform capable of a lot. Out-of-the-box is really just short-view of any platform.

This is my point, I'm sure zikula (though I haven't seen it) is capable of much more than you're seeing. > So the other way is true: You need to have some knowledge of the CMS > to setup a site that meets the requirements. This seems to just clarify my point. You (possibly) haven't any knowledge of zikula or drupal: in the same way that you haven't enough knowledge to set it up, how can you predict what its _capable_ of being setup for?? > Drupals demo at http://php.opensourcecms.com is not helpful in > presenting drupal as a system that fulfills all the requirements.

Drupal is made to be _very_ _heavily_ customized, so as little is turned off from the get go, so that a real developer doesn't have to go running through the system disabling bells and whistles just for the sake of getting started on his own work. However, this doesn't mean its a paltform _only_ for heavy-custimization. > If that all that was to drupal, I'd never consider it. If I judged any open source software in such a way, I'd still be using Windows XP and Microsoft Office. I'll try to get someone on this list soon to answer in depth questions of "how" quick is it to do x-y-z.
