They exist. They may not be publically released, but they exist.

I have one. I have a bunch of legacy users who are on an old one written in
Perl. I have been converting it to Ruby with IOWA so that I could add new
features and generally make it better. It's not really something I plan to
release, though, in part because the conversion is only 1/2 done. Parts in
still Perl, and in part because even though it is in Ruby on a good
framework, it's still just a conversion and enhancement on a system that
won't win any awards for beauty or elegance.

Paul Vudmaska (paul, are you still lurking?) has a nice looking system that
he created for a bunch of his clients. It's done directly with
mod_ruby/eruby without the benefit of any other framework. That one is, or
was, publically available at some version. If Paul isn't listening, I'll
see if I can find out what the state of that is and report back.

In fact, I would prefer to see public ones :)

I may end up to do a CMS for my site and in this case I would release it
publically.

I think I wouldn't use big frameworks either.

Some features I need would be :
- XML based structures content
- Good metadata system
- Roles and rights (abouts users and files)
- i18n
- workflows
- versionning
- groupware

ZenWeb - http://zenspider.com/ZSS/Products/ZenWeb/...

Long in existence.

You really don't want this. Really.

ZenWeb works with plain text files with simple markup, much easier to
edit.

ZenWeb has an awesome hierarchical metadata system. Truly, truly
awesome. (Truly.)

Since ZenWeb is based on files, you can control this at the FS level.

Tricky, but possible with the nifty renderers ZenWeb has.

Not built-in.

CVS.

What does this mean?

That's a tad arrogant, isn't it? If poster needs XML structured
content, that is what he needs. I too would consider it requirement of
a good CMS to have a good understanding of XML and namespaces.

Depends on what tools you are using.

This is far too impractical for large numbers of files. You would end
up implementing chmod interface for it anyhow and it would be hell to
track and display nicely.

Personally I think Bricollage (written in perl, http://bri...)
has a nice feature set. If something like it existed in Ruby I would
certainly use it.
