Hi Sarah, I have worked with Squiz's cms for over 3 years now. They develop an Open Source content management system called MySource Matrix. I would seriously recommend having a free demonstration (they can to it online via screen sharing) or they have an office in Melbourne. More information about the CMS here:
http://matrix.squiz.net The company Squiz is essentially a professional services company that offers services around the MySource Matrix product. My contact there is Lee Bollom ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) 1300 130 661 he's a nice guy, feel free to give him a call... I hope that helps.
