Seymore is a Ruby on Rails CMS (that's Content Management System) by Thomas Mango that's still in the earliest stages but nevertheless looks pretty impressive. Seymore relies on the principle of allowing input wherever there's output, i.e. if I'm logged in and looking at a page of the site, I can edit that page right there, without entering an administration back-end or similar. The best way to get an idea of how Seymore works is by visiting the site and watching Mango's screencasts. He shows off Seymore's category system, WYSIWYG editor, wiki-like revision system, and other important features. Like I said, Seymore is brand new (first release: yesterday), so its to-do list is as long as its feature list, but it looks like it's off to a great start. I'm not sure what license it's released under, but since Mango makes the source code available, I'm gonna go out on a limb and call it open source.

This is an opensource project I have been waiting for. Joomla rocks, but an opensources AJAX based CMS would just be dynamite.

Typo3 has had front-end editing for years. It's not quite as transparent, but still very easy for the end users. Also, developers have been porting parts to AJAX as well. There isn't a better CMS out there.
