		<description><![CDATA[WOW great list you have made there, well done. I have tried Phpizabi but it seems a little buggy! I have been looking for something on the lines of Phpizabi, as an alternative!

Will check out some of those you have mentioned, I have been looking for a decent software for ages. Plus I am looking for Phpizabi themes/styles. 

Once again well done with your efforts.

		<description><![CDATA[Like the others, I appreciate your efforts in compiling this list. What strikes me when I read this list is the absence of the leading open source content management systems, which have become social media platforms in their own right. 

According to the 2008 Open Source CMS Market Share Survey by Water &amp; Stone (http://waterandstone.com/downloads/2008OpenSourceCMSMarketSurvey.pdf), the clear leaders in terms of brand strength and adoption are WordPress, Joomla! and Drupal.
