Today, with the support of Blue Atlas Interactive, I am releasing version 0.90 of Simple Managed Content (SimpleMC). SimpleMC, which requires PHP/MySQL, aims to provide an easy way for content editors to manage blocks of content. The following links and screencast should give you a good picture of the project:

Thoughts

This project started as most projects do, with the needs of a client.  Over time its focus has remained on that of simplifying content block management.   Though we hope to one day have the ability to add/manage pages, our goal is not to provide a full scale CMS.  In the right situation, we feel that this project provides a good choice for managing content.  In other situations, it would likely be a poor choice.  We look forward to any feedback you might have.
