The best CMS in the world... ever

Wishlist of features in an Open Source CMS:
• Workflow: create, edit and publish

• Online editor (with bold, italics, links) for use in browsers
• Collaboration – allows a single story to be divided between different journalists (photographer, writer, etc).
• Content classes (image/story/etc)
• Assigning of tasks
• Archiving capability
• Dynamic sitemap
• Visitor statistics
• Built-in search functionality (plus statistics)
• Design templates (including Cascading Style Sheets)
• Contents separate from design (allows contents to be extracted and used elsewhere)
• Easy-to-use admin interface (with levels of customization)
• E-commerce functionality
• Import/export classes (e.g. xml)
• Basic image handling (resizing, file type conversions, etc)
• Menu Management
• PDF generation of content on demand
• Trash can (deleted content can be restored)

Two examples, I’ve experimented with and looked at:
JetBox
eZ Publish
