I need a powerful flexible developer-oriented CMS

I'd like a CMS which is developer oriented, not stupid and easy to
use, but highly flexible and lite, with a code I could understand (not
too messy)

Another important thing.. my websites aren't very dynamic and there's
no login, therefore I need a good caching system to avoid useless
server work.

What would you suggest?

thanks
bye

I would have no idea. This is a PHP programming newsgroup, not a CMS
recommendation group.

Then you want something that doesnt exist , Why dont you write a CMS and
show everybody else how it should be done :-)

drupal is written in php, and it looks like the real deal
to me. I've started it up and played with it. Haven't done
anything real yet. Haven't had the opportunity.
I like the way the dynamic output is cached....
seems to give you the developer's opportunity to have
your cake and eat it too.

I have one site running Drupal. It's very extensible, but very
complicated. And I would not call it "developer oriented".

It is also not light, and the code is anything but easy to understand,
at least until you are able to grasp the big picture.

I would not recommend it to the original op.

But also, if I wanted a good recommendation for a CMS, I wouldn't be
looking in a programming news group...

I found phpCMS, maybe you should give it a look too, it's very
developer oriented and very easy. Caching system is great and the
whole business is pretty light. It's just a bit too difficult to
actually use (menu's syntax is much overdone, for example)

I think most mature/popular CMSs will become pretty complex as people
add to the system also makes developing with it harder as it as
evolved into specific functions over time. Then again you might have
luck searching through the CMS Matrix and see if you can find
something that fits:

As I posted recently I am using a Wiki for the CMS part (also
internal, use) of my development (I have to code a user front end but
it seems pretty easy.) You might want to look at those.

The two I've used are Erfurtwiki (ewiki) which is DB based and really
easy to modify but lousy for images, attached files, or group access
control. Then there's Dokuwiki which is a little bit more involved
(not too bad, both are designed for programmers to integrate them into
thier projects), is file based based (good for multimedia and attached
files) and has a nice look and interface (the non-techie office staff
like it more too).
