Silverstripe is fantastic. It's relatively new in relation to other
CMS's, but it sure has a lot of potential. Primarily, it's developed by
a NZ company and was originally a closed source, proprietary CMS. It's
extremely flexible for developers/designers to create custom
templates/sites. The community is growing larger, and the SS staff are
quite helpful. They provide a forum and IRC channel for support and
discussion. More importantly, it's easy for clients/content writers to
create pages, the interface is quite intuitive. 

There are a few quirks here and there, no official blog/news module
exists, but there is a guide/tutorial for how to create one. The next
release  (v2.1) will feature a tonne of improvements and those extra
modules too. It's exciting times ahead for Silverstripe, and I
certainly encourage you all to keep your eye on it.

I'm actually developing a web site using Silverstripe at the moment,
first time :)

Cheers,

Tate Johnson
