Joomla!

Open Source does work! This is an amazing CMS tool, created via an open source community and freely available. The base system is solid and there are MANY add on features. I took the usual route of installing and hacking to get it to work (I hate reading documentation) and had little issue setting up a base system, messing it up a bit and then having it work the way I want: http://masystems.org/

OpenSourceMatters (base group?)

If you're developing a website I would strongly recommend using Joomla - solid, easy to setup, easy to update, etc. Dev tools are meant for functionality - CMS for website management...keep them separate an use Joomla! for your cms!
