Everything is quite the system, but it is a bit complicated. Understanding it has taken me five separate installations, and even now, I'm only beginning to get it right.

For "content management", it may be what you want, since it is multi-user, and very extensible. It's also Perl, which is a bonus, meaning you can do almost anything with it, given enough time and initiative. The only problem is getting it to operate the way you want it to.

It will probably take 3-4 weeks to figure out how to work with Everything, and even then there will be surprises. If you have this kind of time, the end result can be quite rewarding, since Everything is really fun to play with once you know your way around. Until that point, though, it can be agonizing. Documentation is pretty sparse.

So, while Everything is very extensible, and very workable as a content management system, it is relatively slow, and tough to learn. If you like a challenge, this may be your best bet.
