I am looking for a good CMS based on Rails that has at least these  
attributes:

1. Ease of use ( as it will be used by people who are not html literate)
2. Very easy/flexible to change layout.

So far I have looked at

[http://rcms.oopen.de/Home/](http://rcms.oopen.de/Home/) (have not installed it yet)  
[http://adminpages.flowdev.de](http://adminpages.flowdev.de)  
[http://demo.radiantcms.org/admin/pages](http://demo.radiantcms.org/admin/pages)  
[http://www.eribium.org/eribium/](http://www.eribium.org/eribium/)

MuraveyWeb does not seem to be active anymore.

Anything else around free or paid version?

There’s also Spread CMS ([http://www.spread-cms.org](http://www.spread-cms.org)) but there’s no  
public  
version available at this time. The first public version should come  
soon …

Does anyone know if there is there an accessible svn checkout for  
Spread? Looks very good.

It appears to still be in design/prototype stage. A CVS tree exists  
with no code.

The concept of containers of active content looks interesting – perhaps  
containers themselves would be active content, and thus able to contain  
containers alongside other active content.

Judging by one of the outlines it might allow end users to organize  
content ( incl. containers? ) from three perspectives: Spatial (  
layout? ), semantic, and contextual.
