It's what we use on Fusion
by Adam Gaffin
I really like this for two reasons:
One is the interface is all template driven, using PHP-like tags to tap into various lower-level functions and data. Makes it really easy to customize (although there are tons of templates so you need to think out what you want to do first).
Having said that, the other reason I like the software is it's easy to plug in or add additional functionality without monkeying with the underlying code (i.e., you don't have to worry what happens when the next version comes along) - the software offers extensive hooks for plugins and you can create your own "global" variables (that can include pretty much any SQL query you can think of) for use in any template.
