Sure, that would be great. If you can send me the source code of the CMS I'll 
hack a GUI integration for it together and will release it to the YUM 
repository.

The only thing that has to be made clear upfront are the terms of the 
licensing for your CMS. The license should allow for distribution (and usage) 
in forms that don't limit us from distributing it. GPL, Artistic license, BSD 
license or something like that. We had a case back in the BlueQuartz time 
where "donated" sources were asked to be removed again because the donating 
party did a U-turn on us and wanted to keep it commercial.
